Typhoon No. 15, also known as Chan-hom, is set to make landfall near Ibaraki Prefecture in Kanto tonight, bringing rapidly strengthening winds, high waves, and heavy rain to parts of Kanto and southern Tohoku. The storm, currently located east of Iwaki in Fukushima Prefecture, is forecast to gradually turn west as it moves around the edge of a cold-core low descending off the Boso Peninsula, making landfall near Ibaraki increasingly likely during the evening.
As the typhoon approaches and makes landfall from the evening into early night, southern Kanto, including Tokyo, could experience intense rain, with thunderstorms possible in some areas.
