Observatory to replace T10 with T8 before 6am
The observatory said on Saturday it will consider issuing the No 8 Southeast Gale or Storm Signal to replace the Hurricane Signal No 10, between 3am to 6am. Forecasters said they will make the decision depending on the wind conditions, as Saola moves away from Hong Kong. "Winds over the eastern part of the territory have weakened. However, hurricane force winds associated with Saola are still affecting the western part of the territory occasionally," the observatory said. The observatory also noted that sea levels at coastal areas are decreasing.  It said the water level in Tai Po reached about four metres above chart datum after midnight. They predicted that the water level in Tai O will rise to some three metres above chart datum at around 9am. The observatory also made a special appeal to the public to stay in safe indoor places, and not to go outside.
