Tropical Storm Talim made landfall on Kyushu near Yamagawa, Japan on Saturday night.\u00a0 Heavy rain was already falling over parts of Kyushu and Shikoku.\u00a0 At 9:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday the center of Tropical Storm Talim was located at latitude 30.8\u00b0N and longitude 130.2\u00b0E which put it about 60 miles (95 km) southwest of Kagoshima, Japan.\u00a0 Talim was moving toward the east-northeast at 18 m.p.h. (30 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 65 m.p.h. (105 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 80 m.p.h. (130 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 975 mb.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Talim was a powerful typhoon several days ago.\u00a0 Talim was nearly stationary over the same part of the Pacific Ocean for nearly 48 hours.\u00a0 Talim’s winds mixed cooler water to the surface and it weakened to a tropical storm.\u00a0 Tropical Storm still has a well organized circulation and winds to tropical storm force extend out about 200 miles (320 km) from the center of circulation.\u00a0 Drier air wrapped around the southern half of the circulation.\u00a0 Most of the thunderstorms and heavy rain are occurring in the northern half of the circulation.<\/p>\n
An upper level trough over eastern Asia is steering Tropical Storm Talim toward the east-northeast.\u00a0 The trough should steer Talim more toward the northeast during the next several days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track the center of Tropical Storm Talim will move over southern Kyushu, Shikoku and Honshu.\u00a0 Talim will bring gusty winds and locally heavy rain when it moves across those areas.\u00a0 The heavy rain could produce flash flooding in some locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
