so much of you in hokkaido in those vicinities do enjoy the weather while you can. northeastern china will be looking at things very fine and nice with warm temperatures as well. but central china, you'll be targeted with a series of low pressure systems developing over shangxi, hanan. 50 millimeters of rainfall in the next 24 hours. that is enough to trigger flooding. further flooding is of concern in northwestern thailand. we're looking at temperatures in bangkok at 29 degrees. so still a lot of the areas over towards the north heating up and also in manila, 32 degrees. tokyo, 30 degrees. a little bit cooler than today but still very hot. ulaanbaatar, 21 for the high but the low again in northern mongolian regions could go down to about freezing point. let's now take a look at what's going to happen with that hurricane leslie. leslie is now moving at the speed of 2 kilometers per hour, really snail pace. and that means it's going to be lingering here for quite awhile before it makes the closest approach to bermuda. so storm swells and rip currents at the dangerous

and then you can see that that will be next taking aim toward hokkaido. as it en routes toward hokkaido, northern japan, again, we'll be finding those isolated thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. but rain actually in tokyo considering the total amount that we should be seeing that this time of the year. in the past two months, tokyo has only seen 32% of that. so some locations are actually wanting those rain to fall. however, yet again, these isolated thunderstorms only come to pop up in the confined areas. so we may actually not get the rain where we want it. heavy rain, however, will be found here in central china. wuhan especially, you may see 250 millimeters in the next 24 hours. generally speaking, these series of low pressure systems will be moving towards the east and bringing about 100 to 150 millimeters of rainfall accumulation. tokyo looking at 31 degrees. yet again, another hot day for us. and lots of 30s in the tropics. ulaanbaatar, though, just 19 degrees for the high on your saturday. moving over to the american continent, let me show you wher
