strength. As of late afternoon Thursday, EDT, Tropical Storm Nida is
wielding top sustained winds of 70 mph. Centered about 295 miles
south-southeast of Tokyo, the storm is speedily moving towards the
east-northeast at almost 45 mph. While the cyclone's core has been
passing largely to the south of Honshu, the main island, the tiny Izu

Further loss of strength and a transition to an extra-tropical storm
are also likely during this time.

was soaked by 5.1 inches of rain as of Thursday morning, EDT. On the
main island, Honshu, rainfall was 4.0 inches at the southernmost
point, Shiono Misaki.

Islands. The storm is moving toward the north at 14 mph. Omais is
forecast to continue on an open-water path towards the north or
north-northeast with further weakening during the next 24-48 hours.
