The strongest wind near the center of the tropical depression was level 7 (50-61 km/h), gusting to level 9; moving mainly west at about 15 km/h.

Mr. Nguyen Van Huong - Head of Weather Forecast Department, National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said that around the morning of September 17, the tropical depression entered the East Sea and on September 18, it strengthened into a storm when moving to the middle of the East Sea (Hoang Sa area). For storm No. 4, there are 2 possible scenarios:
1 : The storm is likely to move towards the Central Central region; the storm's impact on this region may be 1-2 days earlier (around September 19 and 20).
2 : The storm changes direction and moves northwest toward the Northern and North Central regions; the storm's impact on land will be this weekend.

During thunderstorms, there is a possibility of tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind.
