According to the latest forecast track from Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) (JTWC Warning #15), Super Typhoon Hagibis is expected to move poleward in the coming days and will reach Japan this weekend. Even if it is expected to gradually weaken while moving towards Japan, it is still expected to be a strong typhoon upon reaching central Japan.

Earlier coverage

(12 Aug 2019) Last week was that rare occasion, when you could watch two massive typhoons churning through the Western Pacific, Super Typhoon Lekima (10W) as equivalent to a Category 4 major hurricane, typhoon Krosa (11W) was equivalent to Category 3 hurricane.

Meanwhile, typhoon Lekima (10W) made a landfall in southeastern China last week as high-end category 2 storm (you can read our coverage here).

Typhoon Krosa (11W) weakened to Tropical Storm, and is hovering over the Ogasawara Islands, forecast to approach coastal areas of western Japan later in the week, possibly as a typhoon, or strong tropical storm.

Through today, residents around the islands can expect severe weather conditions, with intense thunderstorms and high waves along the Pacific coast of western and eastern Japan.
