Tropical Cyclone Krovanh heading for Japan



Tropical Storm Krovanh developed in the western Pacific today. The storm projections indicate that this storm is heading for the center of the main island of Japan and will intensify to a Category 1 typhoon and then weakening before making landfall.

The strike reports are showing that there is a 50% chance of Krovanh hitting Japan as a tropical storm in the next 48 hours. In 72 hours Krovanh has a 40 - 45% liklihood of striking Tokyo, Iwaki and Shizouka.
