. >> meteorologist pedra joins us more on this dangerous combo. >> the heat certainly is on, has been on, has caused some fatalities across that region we haven't touched on too much because of the severity of these typhoons that have impacted areas around japan. i want to touch on what's happening with regards to these typhoons. halong at this hour weakened a little bit. the winds have dropped to 150 kilometers per hour. it would be considered about 90, 95 miles per hour. still a strong category 1 hurricane equivalent as it sits out there about 1,000 kilometers east of taiwan or 600 miles east of taiwan. a couple of days ago this was a supertyphoon. it was category 5 equivalent. that's the good news as far as weakening. the track bad news. this region of southern japan has already seen historic rainfall in recent days. talking about 40 inches in a few spots or nearly a meter of rainfall have come down this. storm system has the potential to really exacerbate the flash flooding issue here in the next few days. landfall friday night into saturday morning. look at the cone of uncertaint
