中央气象台发布台风预报，第13号台风"白海豚"将逼近我国华东沿海。[1] 截至8月3日17时，该台风中心位于距琉球群岛那霸市偏东方向约1890公里处，中心附近最大风力达15级（48米/秒，强台风级），中心最低气压为945百帕。[1] 台风预计以每小时20～25公里的速度继续向西偏北方向移动。[1]
根据预报，台风"白海豚"将于6日至7日穿过琉球群岛移入东海，之后趋向我国华东沿海。[1] 气象部门分析出两条可能的路径：一是9日前后在长江口到福建北部沿海以台风级或强台风级（12～14级，33～45米/秒）强度登陆；二是10日至11日以强热带风暴级（10～11级，25～30米/秒）强度登陆或擦过长江口至山东半岛沿海地区。[1] 这场台风可能给浙江、福建、江西、上海、江苏、安徽、山东、辽宁等地带来强风雨天气，但在5日之前对我国无明显影响。[1]
China's Central Meteorological Administration has forecasted that Typhoon Baiji Dolphin (the 13th typhoon of the season) will traverse the Ryukyu Islands and enter the East China Sea between August 6-7, subsequently advancing toward China's east coast [1]. The storm may make landfall or pass near coastal areas around September 9 or between August 10-11, potentially bringing strong winds and heavy rainfall to Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, and Liaoning [1].
As of August 3 at 5 PM, the typhoon's center was located approximately 1,890 kilometers east-southeast of Naha in the Ryukyu Islands [1]. The system possessed maximum sustained winds of 15 levels (48 meters per second, equivalent to super typhoon strength) and a minimum central pressure of 945 hectopascals [1]. The typhoon is expected to continue moving westward and northwestward at a speed of 20-25 kilometers per hour [1].
The meteorological authority identified two possible tracks: the first scenario involves landfall around September 9 along the Yangtze River estuary to northern Fujian coast with typhoon or super typhoon intensity (12-14 levels, 33-45 meters per second) [1]; the second scenario projects landfall or a grazing passage between August 10-11 along the Yangtze River estuary to the Shandong Peninsula with strong tropical storm intensity (10-11 levels, 25-30 meters per second) [1]. No significant impact on China is expected before August 5 [1].
