On Aug. 15 at 5 a.m. EDT (0900 UTC), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center reported the center of Tropical Storm Bebinca was located near latitude 20.9 degrees north and longitude 111.2 degrees west. That's about 170 nautical miles southwest of Hong Kong, China. The tropical storm is moving toward the west-northwest. Maximum sustained winds were near 40 mph (35 knots/62 kph).

Bebinca is expected to move west through the Gulf of Tonkin and make landfall in Vietnam, tracking south of Hanoi.
