Hail and tornadoes are forecast to occur in some mountainous areas during this time.
According to the centre, the Thao and Lo rivers may face floods of 2-4 metres. Meanwhile, the water level of the Red River is also expected to rise sharply.
Landslides could also happen at several northwestern localities such as Lai Chau, Son La, Dien Bien, Lao Cai, Yen Bai and Ha Giang.
