At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Saturday the center of Typhoon Hagibis was located at latitude 36.6°N and longitude 140.8°E which put it about 50 miles south of Iwaki, Japan. Hagibis was moving toward the north-northeast at 25 m.p.h. (40 km/h). The maximum sustained wind speed was 85 m.p.h. (135 km/h) and there were wind gusts to 105 m.p.h. (165 km/h).

The center of Typhoon Hagibis made landfall on the coast of Honshu on the Izu Peninsula southeast of Tokyo on Saturday. The center of Hagibis moved quickly across the Tokyo metropolitan area toward Mito, Japan. Typhoon Hagibis brought strong winds to coastal areas of Honshu. A weather station at Tokyo International Airport in Haneda measured a sustained wind speed of 77 m.p.h. (124 km/h). Rainbands on the northern side of Hagibis dropped heavy rain over the Tokyo metropolitan area. Rainfall rates at some weather stations approached an inch (0.3 meters) per hour. Flash floods occurred as the water from heavy rain ran off. The rain also caused landslides on some steeper slopes. Conditions will improve around Honshu as Typhoon Hagibis moves quickly away from Japan. The heavy rain will end soon and the wind speed will gradually decrease.
