Observatory to issue No 3 signal at 4.20 pm
The Observatory on Saturday said it would replace the No 8 typhoon signal with a No 3 signal at 4.20pm, as storm Saola moves away from the territory.  At 1 pm, Saola was estimated to be about 210 kilometres west-southwest of Hong Kong and is forecast to move west-southwest at about 12 kilometres per hour across the coastal waters of western Guangdong.  The forecaster said it expects winds to weaken gradually, with heavy squally showers and thunderstorms during the day.  But acting senior scientific officer Choy Chun-wing urged people not to let their guard down. "However, the rainbands associated with Saola are still affecting the Pearl River Estuary, and there will still be gale force winds over parts of the territory at first," he said.  He also warned of swells and advised members of the public to stay away from the shoreline and not to engage in water sports.
