weekend = squally showers and thunderstorms



I've been trying to upload a satellite image of the Tropical Storm Vicente, to no avail. In its absence, here's Hong Kong Observatory:
A ridge of high pressure is affecting southeastern China, while rain is widespread over the northern part of the South China Sea. At noon, Tropical Storm Vicente was centred about 320 kilometres southeast of Xisha. It is forecast to move northwest or west-northwest at about 30 kilometres per hour in the general direction of Hainan.
Weather forecast for this afternoon and tonight: Cloudy with rain and squally thunderstorms. Fresh easterly winds, occasionally strong over offshore waters and on high ground. Outlook : Windy, cloudy and rainy tomorrow. Sunny periods in the following few days.
This does not augur well for this weekend's Mid-Autumn Festival.
