Gerst wrote that, from space, the storm looks "as if somebody pulled the planet's gigantic plug."

From there the storm is expected to take a turn toward the northeast and will likely make landfall over Kagoshima prefecture as a strong typhoon with sustained winds equivalent to a category 3 hurricane Sunday afternoon. The storm will progress across the mainland dumping rain through the remainder of the weekend into early next week, according to forecasts Wednesday.

According to CNN meteorologist Tom Sater, models earlier in the week suggested Trami could make landfall in mainland Taiwan, but that is now less likely.
It has been relatively stationary over the last day or so -- hence the weaker winds -- and is forecast to weaken a little more before possibly picking up strength again as it nears mainland Japan, adding to the summer of extreme weather that has plagued the Asian nation.
"Pre-typhoon rainfall could cause a threat of landslides; once the system moves in it'll enhance that rain," Sater said.


The storm is the fifth super typhoon to hit the western Pacific this year, CNN meteorologists say.
Even though it is still a relatively long time before the storm hits Japan, its impacts are already being felt.
Tropical moisture is being funneled up into Japan, causing rain along the eastern prefectures up toward Tokyo. That rain will continue through the next few days until the storm hits the mainland directly.
Rainfall totals from Kagoshima up through Tokyo could exceed 250 to 500 milimeters (9.8 to 19.6 inches) in many locations, which could cause flash flooding and landslides in some areas.

Second super typhoon in under two weeks
