Super Typhoon Jelawat continues its path north of the Philippines on its way to Okinawa and Japan. The storm has strengthened to a category 4 with maximum sustained winds of 150 miles per hour. Jelawat is expected to gain speed towards mainland Japan with landfall to occur sunday and into monday south of Tokyo. With lower temperatures in its path, Typhoon Jelawat is expected to weaken to a category 1 by the time it hits Japan. However, the air force base and residents of Okinawa should be prepared for the storm's impact. Structures should be more secure and people should evacuate to shelters.
