The Observatory says it will issue the Strong Wind Signal No. 3 at 10.40am as Severe Tropical Storm Trami skirts the SAR.
The Education Bureau said kindergartens and schools for children with physical and intellectual disabilities would be suspended for the day.
The Observatory said local winds are expected to pick up gradually in Hong Kong as the winds veer to the east later on, and some places which were previously sheltered become exposed.
However, it expects the winds to ease off gradually on Sunday morning as Trami leaves.
It said Trami was an estimated 560 kilometres south of Hong Kong, and is forecast to move across the South China Sea in the direction of the waters south of Hainan Island.
