Japan on alert for two tropical


storms
Tuesday, Aug. 29, 7:03

Japan's southwestern prefecture of Okinawa is


bracing for rough sea conditions, as a typhoon
currently east of the Philippines travels north.

The Meteorological Agency says Typhoon


Saola is moving north and will gradually
change direction westward.

The powerful storm will bring high waves to the


Sakishima Islands in Okinawa Prefecture.
Weather authorities warn people in the area of
possible rough sea conditions on Wednesday
and Thursday, depending on the storm's
trajectory.

Another storm could move close to Okinawa


Prefecture. Tropical Storm Haikui is currently
off the eastern coast of the Philippines and
moving west.

Meteorological Agency officials say Haikui will


travel northwest while picking up strength and
could close in on the Okinawa region as early
as Thursday.

Atmospheric conditions stretching from


western to northern Japan are expected to
remain unstable on Tuesday, due to an influx of
humid air and forecast high temperatures
during the day. There is a chance of torrential
downpours, accompanied by thunder, in some
places.

The Meteorological Agency is warning of


landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, swollen
rivers, lightning strikes, strong gusts and hail.
