A soaking end to the week is shaping up for southeastern China, including Hong Kong, significantly heightening concerns for flash flooding.

While the week started on a relatively dry note, southeastern China will soon become a pathway for rounds of rain and thunderstorms as a front stalls overhead.

The front will first bring generally spotty showers and thunderstorms to Hong Kong Thursday afternoon through Friday morning (local time) before more numerous thunderstorms and steadier rain follow from later Friday through the weekend.

Rainfall totals will average 50 to 100 mm (2 to 4 inches) in Hong Kong and across southeastern China, but locally greater totals are possible in the higher terrain and from the heaviest downpours.
