An upper level low is pulling Typhoon Lionrock toward a landfall in northern Japan.\u00a0 At 8:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Typhoon Lionrock was located at latitude 36.1\u00b0N and longitude 142.5\u00b0E which put it about 150 miles (240 km) south-southeast of Sendai, Japan.\u00a0 Lionrock was moving toward the north-northwest at 24 m.p.h. (39 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 75 m.p.h. (120 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 90 m.p.h. (145 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 965 mb.<\/p>\n
An upper level low west of Japan was pulling Typhoon Lionrock back toward the west-northwest.\u00a0 At its current track and speed Typhoon Lionrock would make landfall on the northeastern coast of Honshu near Sendai in about six hours.<\/p>\n
The structure of Typhoon Lionrock is changing as a result of cooler Sea Surface Temperatures and more vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Lionrock is making a transition of a tropical cyclone to an extratropical cyclone.\u00a0 The circulation is becoming more elongated and the typhoon is pulling cooler drier air into the western half of the circulation.\u00a0 The wind field will tend to expand as the typhoon becomes extratropical.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Lionrock will be capable of producing minor wind damage along its path.\u00a0 It could also cause locally heavy rainfall and flash floods over northern Honshu.\u00a0 It will pass over some of the same areas recently affected by Typhoon Mindulle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
