Tropical Depression 16W formed 205 nautical miles (380 km) east-southeast of Dong Tac Airport, Vietnam on the morning of 16 September.

Shortly after forming, Vicente interacted with a tropical disturbance west of Luzon and made a cyclonic loop.

Eventually, Vicente made landfall on the Vietnam coast northwest of Huế on 18 September and gradually dissipated.

[2] Ahead of the storm, about 9,000 residents evacuated inland while others worked to protect the thousands of dykes along the shore.

Rough seas produced by the storm caused the drownings of two swimmers in Ham Tin Wan of Sai Kung.

The rains led to increased water levels in the Thao River, which threatened to overflow and flood several villages.

[3] In Hà Tĩnh Province, a total of 3,500 homes were submerged by floodwaters and an additional 450 residences were evacuated.
