Tropical Storm Fengshen continues to intensify this morning as it moves south of Japan. The system was last located approximately 580km south southeast of Osaka. Maximum sustained winds are now at 100kph with gusts of up to 130kph. TS Fengshen is currently moving east northeastward at 30kph.

Latest satellite image shows convective banding wrapping tighter around the low-level center. Further analysis suggest the eyewall continuing to develop which is a sign of further intensification. Fengshen is located in an area of slightly favorable environment with warm sea surface temperatures and good poleward outflow.
Tropical Storm Fengshen will continue to move east northeastward and could intensify into a Typhoon by tomorrow. The system should stay well south of Japan and shouldn't bring any adverse impacts across the mainland. However, light rain showers and high waves will still be felt along the southern coast of Honshu.
We'll have another update later today.
