Typhoon White Dolphin and its remnant circulation have produced widespread heavy
rain across more than 10 Chinese provinces. The remnant vortex remains active
and is drifting east into the sea under a westerly trough. Once over water it
could regain marine heat and moisture and potentially re-intensify; a northward
track would bring heavy rain to Northeast China, with Jilin and Heilongjiang at
risk on Aug. 17-18. China's central meteorological agency forecasts roughly two
additional typhoons may form in the northwest Pacific and South China Sea over
the next 10 days.
