Northern provinces of Heilongjiang, Liaoning and Shandong will also be affected by showers, with thunder, gales and hail expected in some areas.
Heavy rain will fall in Jianli, Hubei Province, where hundreds of people are mourning more than 400 people who died in the Eastern Star disaster.

The center uses a four-tier color-coded warning system, with red being the most severe, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
