The local weather will become unsettled tonight and tomorrow, with heavy, frequent showers and thunderstorms. Winds, northeasterly to easterly, will further intensify and reach wind force level 8 – 9, with gusts. SMG will consider to issue the No.8 signal between tonight and the beginning of tomorrow.
