sunson now a severe tropical storm after being downgraded but by no means is this storm over yet it is still bringing a tremendous amount of rainfall across Southwestern Japan as it slowly tracks towards the Northeast over the coming days and that is after it came on Shore as a powerful typhoon this video from videographer James Reynolds check him out on YouTube Earth uncut TV he was in the right front quadrant of this storm where winds were reported in that town where he is of 85 km per hour that is at the reported site there could have been spots near the coast nearly 200 km per hour now our attention is not just shifting from the rain though or excuse me from the wind it is now over to the rainfall where you know we've seen reported sites in Miyazaki pref fixture look at this 8113 mm in the past 48 hours which blows my mind the fact that uh this area just prone for typhoons and heavy flooding and this is what I was talking about when we were seeing this potential of this storm because that's not even the record the record Being 1,210 mm but still a tremendous amount of rainfall across Miyazaki o kagoshima pref fixure up and over uh 100 mm in a lot of these areas here so let's break down this storm system where is it going now and why is the flood threat still here because it's weakened right but I mean look at the rain shield extending off towards the north and east we're getting a little bit of dry air and some Shear coming in from the South and West so that's good news for places like Kashima uh we are seeing some improvements in southern kushu over towards the Yami Islands but as this all kind of pulls towards the north and east and slowly tracks here and I truly mean slowly it is expected to just more or less linger across Southwestern Japan watch this this is Thursday let's go ahead in the Saturday still over Osaka um by Sunday still lingering around the Key Peninsula this is all still in Southwestern haoe it is not until Tuesday over towards Wednesday do we start to see this kind of move a little bit towards the north and east the good news the GFS has backed off on that potential of this retrograding considerably it still could linger here even if it for example here with the ecmwf if it lingers off the coast of shikoku it actually could reintensification just a bit to a severe tropical stormm maybe lowend typhoon but the key thing is all the while it is pulling in that moisture wrapping and around it and bringing continued rainfall to parts of the Key Peninsula ngoya Osaka uh yeah uh easily easily in additional 3 500 mm maybe even higher in some of the mountainous areas here as that moisture comes on Shore uh is likely so I it's hard to stress how much of a flood threat this is unless you're out there and you see it and I hope people aren't somebody actually wrote my comments and uh thank you for watching the updates uh but as they said I was a little you know surprised it was a lot stronger than I thought uh I think that's going to be the case with this one not only the wind which is slow especially for the Inland sea for places like Iwakuni the wind is going to be there but it's going to be the persistent rainfall over the course of several days which I think is going to cause the the biggest issue still in Southwestern areas of Japan especially Southwestern honu and shikoku uh here as we look ahead but places like Tokyo uh still going to be looking at rainfall even heading into the early part of next week CU just persistent so you could be looking at some Urban flooding kind of pulling up here all the while you got our storm here uh I have a separate update with more details on this but the Monsuno flow so make sure you watch the separate video if you're in the Philippines uh is going to continue to get picked up as we get a new storm developing in the Philippine Sea which could very well just enhance that monsoonal float now more than likely it will move north to Northeast so I'm not worried about a typhoon moving on Shore in the Philippines but if that does take place I'll be here updating all of you about uh you know what's happening here and real quick I'll just show you kind of what the uh the GFS is showing with the storm system since a lot of you are curious about that uh big shout out first to our patreon members who support this channel especially our super typhoon those to give $10 or more a month uh especially Garmin there way You' you've helped out me so much over the last few years and just thank you guys so much and if you want to support this channel if you're new to it hit that like And subscribe but check out our patreon it really goes a long way all right so this is next Monday in the Tuesday and I'll show you the time frame on the bottom of the screen here let's look ahead maybe in the Wednesday over towards Thursday looks like we kind of starting to see a storm develop off towards our north and east and all the while that is happening enhancing that monsoonal flow for Manila so I think Manila could be looking at flooding next week just because this enhancement um kind of like what we saw a gami uh could be developing and once again bringing that River of moisture out here and that just continued flow so plenty to talk about over the coming days of course I'll keep you post it not only on our storm system our typhoon severe tropical storm now but the potential for a new typhoon in that enhanced monsoonal flow so as always thanks for watching stay safe out there and yeah thanks for all the support have a good day
