Low pressure is developing rapidly in the Sea of Japan on Thursday 7 today, and is expected to pass through northern Japan tonight.
There are places where storm and snow warnings and storm warnings have already been posted. After this, the wind will blow over a wide area of the country and watch out for blizzards caused by typhoon-like storms and wet snow.
The wind is getting stronger on the Tohoku Sea side of Japan near low pressure, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed since the date change at 6:30 is 33.1 m / s at Tobishima, Yamagata prefecture, and a storm exceeding 30 m / s is observed. We are observing 28.1 m / s in Teramari in Niigata prefecture and 28.0 m / s in Kaho in Akita prefecture.
As low pressure develops further tonight, storms are expected to momentarily exceed 30 m / s on both the Sea of Japan and Pacific sides, and in some places will exceed 40 m / s . You need to be careful with transportation delays such as railways due to storms, suspension of driving, and damage to buildings due to flying objects.
Additionally, there are concerns about power outages and spills due to storms on the Okhotsk Sea side of Hokkaido.
In addition to the 30-40 m / s storm, wet snow is falling hard in northern Japan, where low pressure is approaching, so transmission facilities may be affected by snowfall. According to the Weather News power outage forecast, the risk of power outages is expected to increase over a wide area from northern Japan to Hokuriku, in the shade and along the coast of the Seto Inland Sea.
It will be difficult to get out during peak snow and wind hours, so prepare for power outages as soon as possible.
It is expected to snow heavily in areas like Hokuriku, where snow clouds developed from the Sea of Japan tend to flow. There is the possibility of heavy snowfalls of 1 to 2 m on the morning of the 10th (Sunday) in many places along the mountains.
Strict caution is required against traffic obstacles due to snowfall (large-scale vehicle stagnation due to stagnation, etc.) and collapse of cabins.
The snow is getting stronger and heavy snowfall is expected on the Pacific side of Hokkaido, the Okhotsk sea side and the Pacific side of Tohoku on Friday the 8th due to the influence of low pressure. It will be a winter-type pressure distribution until Saturday the 9th and the snow will continue on the Sea of Japan side.
It can be difficult to go out for several days, so be sure to stock up on fuel and food.
