Latest radar image shows the eye of Neoguri moving very close to Miyako-jima. Bands of light to moderate rains have also begun affecting Okinawa and will continue to do so over the next 12 to 24 hours. For the latest radar images, please click HERE (JMA Website)
Typhoon Neoguri will move just east of Miyako-jima within the next hour (8am Japan Time) and will move west of the island of Okinawa later this afternoon (around 3pm Japan Time). Stormy conditions will persist through the early evening hours before diminishing by tomorrow morning (Wednesday). Neoguri will then make landfall in Kyushu by Thursday morning as a weakening Typhoon.
We'll have another update later today. Stay safe!
