A cyclone plus incoming cold air will produce a storm-surge rise of 60–110 cm
along the coast from Dandong (Liaoning) to northern Weihai (Shandong). On the
afternoon of Oct 17, Bohai and the Yellow Sea are expected to see 2–3.5 m
moderate-to-high waves; nearshore waters off Liaoning, Hebei and
eastern/southern Shandong are expected to see 1.5–2.5 m waves. The National
Marine Forecasting Center has issued a wave blue alert and a storm-surge yellow
alert. Vessels in the affected waters should take safety precautions and coastal
authorities should implement anti-wave measures.
