The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting of Vietnam as well as international meteorological stations forecast that around noon on July 22, the eye of the storm will make landfall in Vietnam (the focus of strong winds is on the northern coast). The coastal provinces of the North and North Central, especially Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Hung Yen, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa are in the eye of the storm and the circulation of storm No. 3. Heavy rain will last until the end of July 23. The entire Northeast, the Northern Delta, Thanh Hoa and Nghe An will receive rainfall from 200 to 350mm, in some places over 600mm. The remaining provinces in the North and Ha Tinh have places with rain exceeding 300mm. In some places, in just 3 hours, it can rain up to 150mm, easily causing flash floods at midnight.

On the afternoon of July 21, Ms. Nguyen Thanh Binh, National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said that Storm No. 3 will not only cause heavy rain when it makes landfall, but will also form a tropical convergence zone that will cause rain to last for many days afterward. The northern mountainous provinces of Thanh Hoa and Nghe An are warned to be at high risk of flash floods and landslides, even after the storm has passed. Ms. Nguyen Thanh Binh warned: "Landslides can occur even when the weather has cleared, because the soil and rocks have been soaked with water for a long time."
