00:00Typhoon Champy, which was a super typhoon, is still a very powerful typhoon, and you can see it moving to
00:08the north and west.
00:10That movement should continue through Friday, but here's the good news, especially for Taiwan.
00:16We're not looking at a direct landfall because that dip in the jet stream, you could see it across northern
00:25China, is going to start turning Champy more toward the north.
00:29Now, there are going to be direct impacts, no doubt about that, in Taiwan, but we're not looking at a
00:35landfalling hurricane.
00:36Champy will undergo or be impacted by wind shear, so it will lose some wind intensity as it turns north
00:45and then toward the northeast.
00:47It will make landfall, we think, in southern Japan as a tropical storm.
00:52Still a lot of impacts, though, certainly for Taiwan, even though we're not looking at a direct landfall.
00:59It's not as bad as it could be.
01:00Look at those wind gusts across most of Taiwan, 40 to 60 miles per hour, the eastern side of the
01:06island, 60 to 80.
01:08Southern parts of Japan, those islands, will get the full brunt of Champy.
01:13And then, of course, the rain, which will not only impact Taiwan and southern Japan,
01:19but also the western periphery of Champy will produce some heavy rain in eastern China.
