(TheWeatherSpace.com) — While we say “Goodnight Irene” to Tropical Storm Irene, across the ocean another tropical system is developing, according to Senior Meteorologist Kevin Martin.
“There is not much info for this area in terms of upper air readings, but current satellite images show a flow that will bring now Tropical Storm Talas to Typhoon stages and slam into Southern Japan on Friday,” said Martin. “A ridge nowover Tokyo looks to be breaking down and this will drive the storm northward.”
Martin says the timing is around Friday morning local Tokyo time and his tracking charts are showing the storm curving in from the southwest toward Tokyo then.
TheWeatherSpace.com will update this storm sometime on Wednesday afternoon U.S. time.
