Stars and Stripes update on Tropical Depression 10W

Tropical Depression 10W: What to expect when

5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 3: Looking at Tropical Depression 10W to strengthen into a tropical storm and rumble about 15 miles southwest of Kadena Air Base at 10 a.m. Saturday.

Local forecasts call for rain to begin falling about 8 p.m. Friday. Winds of 40 mph plus should kick up around 3 a.m. and last until 3 p.m., with maximum gusts of 58 mph about 8 a.m. Wind and rain should taper off and exit the Okinawa area rapidly, but giving way to more rain through Wednesday.

Good news (at this point) for Korea -- 10W's forecast track takes it into the middle of the Yellow Sea/West Sea, north-northwest away from the peninsula. But that could change. PST will keep a sharp lookout.
