Late Wednesday afternoon, EDT, Nida holds highest sustained winds near
100 mph about a center which is 235 miles southeast of Naha, Okinawa,
Japan. The storm is moving toward the east-northeast at 23 mph. Nida's
core is passing over Japan's tiny Daito Islands. During the next 24-48
hours, Nida will accelerate toward the northeast, weaken and become an
extra-tropical storm. In doing so, however, the cyclone will brush
Japan's big island, Honshu, to the southeast, perhaps bringing strong
winds and heavy rain to Tokyo.
Philippine Sea. Omais is wielding top sustained winds of 75 mph as of
late afternoon Wednesday, EDT. Drifting northwestward at only 6 mph,
the typhoon is centered 450 miles west-northwest of Yap, Federated
States of Micronesia, and more than 800 miles west of Guam. Little
change in strength and an open-water, northward heading are projected
for Omais through the end of the week.
(Burma) on Wednesday. Late in the day, the weakening storm is inland
with its center about 50 miles east of Mandalay. With top sustained
winds down to 35 mph, the cyclone is moving east-northeastward at 21
mph. The storm will quickly dissipate during the next 24 hours, but
the threat of heavy, flooding rains will persist into Thursday.
