Japan in Harm's Way from Super Typhoon Halong
An overview of the weather across Asia is discussed in the above AccuWeather.com video.
Halong is expected to remain a very dangerous typhoon through the rest of the weekend and into the coming week.
Maximum sustained winds are currently 260 kph (160 mph), making Halong equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic Basin.
While not impacting land through at least Tuesday local time, Halong will remain over the open waters of the Philippine Sea and creating life-threatening, dangerous seas for shipping interests.
There is currently some wind shear affecting the storm which, if strong enough, typically weakens tropical systems. However, Halong has easily overcome this shear and now has a very well-defined eye along with a robust eye wall.

This should allow Halong to remain a very powerful typhoon. As a result, AccuWeather.com meteorologists expect there to be the potential for a major typhoon to impact southern Japan later in the week.
While the current path of Halong puts the northern Ryukyu Islands and southern Japan at greatest risk of a direct landfall with heavy rain and damaging winds, all residents of Japan, the Korean Peninsula and even northeastern China should closely monitor the typhoon for potential dangers and any adjustments to the forecast track.
Tokyo is one location that is currently not expected to receive the worst of the storm, but the city and surrounding areas will likely see gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall as tropical moisture rotates across the country.
Impacts in southern Japan are expected to worsen beginning on Thursday with typhoon conditions possibly lasting into Saturday in some locations.
Not only will the impacts from Halong have the potential to cause serious impacts in southern Japan, this same area has already seen flooding rainfall during the past several days as a result of Tropical Storm Nakri.
During the past few days, Nakri has brought 250-500 mm (10-20 inches) of rain to some places in Kyushu and Shikoku, according to observation sites across these islands. Multiple locations received more than 10 inches within a single day. Additional rainfall is likely through the rest of the weekend which will worsen any ongoing flooding.
Because of this recent heavy rain, impacts from Halong will likely be exacerbated. With the current forecast track, major flooding will occur in southern Japan along with mudslides, wind damage and coastal flooding due to storm surge.

Segundo o comunicado da agência, nesta quarta, a formação de um novo tufão deixou o sul do Japão cercado por dois fenômenos climáticos. O tufão número 12, chamado Nakri, formou-se ao leste das Filipinas na madrugada de quarta-feira (tarde de terça pelo horário de Brasília).
O Nakri se desloca a 10 km/h em direção norte e tem ventos sustentados de 64 km/h (18 m/s), com picos de 90 km/h (25 m/s), mas pode ganhar mais força.
Já o tufão número 11, chamado Halong, se formou na terça-feira perto de Guam, nas ilhas Mariana, desloca-se a 15 km/h em direção leste-noroeste e tem atualmente ventos sustentados de 82 km/h (23 m/s), com picos de até 126 km/h (35 m/s).
A previsão da agência é de que o Halong ganhe bastante força nos próximos dias. Até sábado, o tufão poderá ter ventos sustentados de 144 km/h (40 m/s), com picos de até 216 km/h (60 m/s).
A Agência alerta para a possibilidade dos dois atingirem o Japão nos próximos dias e deve divulgar boletins periódicos sobre sua força e deslocamento.
O tufão Nakri pode chegar à província de Okinawa com ventos fortes e chuvas torrenciais, levado pela pressão atmosférica que vem do Oriente. Segundo a agência, este tufão arrasta um ar úmido em grande parte da zona leste e há possibilidade de chuva forte nas regiões de Kyushu e Shikoku.

Typhoon Halong may enter PAR Saturday night, move closer to PHL but head to Japan
Typhoon Halong is at the 'boundary' of the Philippine Area of
Responsibility, GMA News' resident meteorologist Nathaniel "Mang Tani"
Cruz said in his report on the "24 Oras" early evening newscast on
Saturday.
Cruz said the typhoon may enter the Philippine
Area of Responsibility (PAR) Saturday night, but unlikely to make
landfall on Luzon.
PAGASA will assign the
codename Jose to Typhoon Halong once it enters the PAR. He said the
typhoon will eventually head to Japan.
Cruz also
said Typhoon Halong will pull at and strengthen the southwest monsoon
and bring rain to much of the country until Sunday afternoon.
PAGASA's 5:00 p.m. weather bulletin said Halong has maximum sustained
winds of 160 kph and gustiness of up to 195 kph and moving west
northwest at 13 kph.
PAGASA raised a gale
warning for the northern and western seaboards of Luzon where the waves
are expected to be up to 4.5 meters high because of the southwest
monsoon. – Kim Luces/ELR GMA News

Take Maru 55, a 49-foot Japanese fishing vessel, was grounded on the west side of Cocos Island early Wednesday morning, said Lt. William White, spokesman for the U.S. Coast Guard. White said an emergency call was received around 8 a.m.
Wind and rain from Tropical Storm Halong began to bombard the island early Wednesday morning. Its closest point of approach was about noon Wednesday, but rain continued yesterday.
The vessel carried six crew members, who had to swim 700 yards from the vessel to safety at the Cocos Island Resort. They took shelter at the resort until the weather improved enough for rescue crews to arrive.
The Guam Fire Department launched a rescue vessel at 6:15 a.m. yesterday and brought the crew over from Cocos Island.
Investigators with the U.S. Coast Guard began interviewing members of the crew on the cause of the grounding yesterday, White said.
Multiple agencies are working together to determine if the vessel will be salvageable and what the next course of action will be. However, White said crews most likely will not be able to access the vessel until early next week because of rough water conditions from Halong.
"If the vessel is not salvageable, the unified command would work between local government agencies, federal agencies and the owner of the vessel to determine the next step of action," White said.
According to the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission website, the tuna longliner, built in 1981, is owned by Naoto Shinzato, out of Okinawa, Japan. The vessel has a maximum crew of 10.
In an attempt to prevent people from injuring themselves on the vessel, the Coast Guard installed a safety zone around the boat, White said.
