rachel ferguson gives us the latest on the situation there and more in her world weather forecast. >> all right. you're absolutely correct. it was raining very heavily yesterday in western japan. let's start off showing you what it was like. this is oita prefecture where more than 200 millimeters of rain was reported over the space of just three hours in some places resulting as you can see there in landslides as well as flooding. the roads just turned to rivers. there was flash flooding. very dangerous stuff. and in fukuoka prefecture, a man was killed when a landslide swamped his house. they are expecting more rain into this afternoon up to 40 millimeters of rain per hour. additional landslides are highly likely. it is a serious situation. now, into tomorrow you'll be pleased to know the rain is going to start to subside. but that very active front that's bringing the rain is going to move in towards kinkou region. if you follow that along the system, you'll be finding maybe 100 to 250 millimeters of rain over the next 24 hours. still very active and high risk of flooding and landsl

rachel ferguson is joining us with the situation there and more in her world weather forecast. >> that's absolutely correct. kyushu as well as shikoku have been dealing with very heavy rain. there's also the risk of tornados and a raised risk of landslides. as well in kyushu where the same rain band brought very heavy rain on sunday. and we've had reports, in fact, of 50 millimeters of rain falling in just the space of one hour. so that's some really seriously heavy rainfall. that's going to continue and the heavy rain will spread in toward central locations, coming into tokyo by the late afternoon hours and through the evening. now, if we follow that rain band right through eastern china and down towards sichuan province you'll notice very heavy rain. you can see a low form over the front. that is going to be producing between 100 to 250 millimeters of rain during the course of the day today. up towards the northeast of china we still have that very slow-moving system bringing thunderstorms, gusts and also hail here and down to the south. lots of scattered thunderstorms for the philippi

let's get the latest from rachel ferguson at the weather desk. >> hi there. yes, we have been talking about two tropical storms in the western pacific. one of them, just moving across the island at the moment bringing those strong winds and the heavy rain. the winds are strong enough to generate waves up to three to four meters along the pacific edge of japan. this system is moving fairly quickly. 30 kilometers an hour at the moment. so those conditionsab will move with it. we could see landfall wednesday night into thursday morning. after that it looks like it could clip the southern edge of the korean peninsula and head up into the northeastern coast of china. another system, severe tropical storm is already a big problem, saola, it has brought extensive flooding. let's look at what happened in manila when the system moved very close. the storm wreaked havoc in manila. we have rivers swelling here. extensive flooding. riverside communities had to evacuate and seek shelter and seek higher ground. schools and businesses were also affected. and many areas, shu

rachel ferguson has the latest in her world weather forecast. >> good morning, catherine.here is certainly a lot to get through, so let's just get started. that heavy rain that's been impacting parts of japan and china is now taking aim at the korean peninsula. in the last 24 hours parts of south korea have seen over 250 millimeters of rain. they're still likely to see heavy amounts to the tune of about 40 millimeters just in the period of one hour as we head on through friday, so that can lead to flash flooding. very, very dangerous situation here. as the low pressure sitting over the front heads in towards japan, there is going to be more heavy rain coming in to the country. in fact, you'll see a lot of rain through much of honchu and the west as well. particularly heavy are going to be kushu, so a critical situation there. we're talking about already saturated land, floods, landslides occurred as well. this is extremely unwelcome rain and a very serious situation. down towards the south of the continent we're going to be seeing more heavy rain as well. the southwest mon

let's turn to rachel ferguson for that and more in her world weather forecast. as we head on through the day i am afraid the torrential downpours are not going to ease up, not until we head on into thursday and slowly the front line that is bringing that heavy rain should move north up into towards the region. unfortunately it is going to be very happy rain moving in there too. so, with the front it will bring also the likelihood of flooding. and landslides to occur. now if we follow that front back in through eastern china, we are going to notice that more heavy rain here is likely throughout the day and into tomorrow. we are talking about, 100 millimeters of rain. maybe re, locally as well. and very heavy areas going to push farther towards the east the you can see maybe a large purple area, shifting there, heading in towards the korean peninsula. the deluge is going to continue for the next couple of days. let's go now to north america. we have been dealing with some really difficult sich racituati because of the weather. let's start with video showing you wh

rachel ferguson has the details. >> we are looking for more heavy rain to hit japan into the weekend. a very active front line bringing torrential downpours all week. and it is not over just yet. at the moment, the heavy rain is focussed on the korean peninsula. some places picking up 300 millimeters of rain in a 24-hour period. well the peak of the rain should be over here by this afternoon. but heading into saturday, the low pressure moving along the front is moving into japan. that will spell thunderstorms and heavy rain in places that really do not need it. kushu earlier this week, experienced flooding downpours, landslides as well. unfortunately more rain coming into kushu. let's take a look at the rainfall forecast into saturday morning. 250 millimeters of rain, plus, possible -- down here, you are seeing in the red. not just, of course, the heavy rain, but also thunderstorms and the potential for tornados. so, very serious situations as we head into the weekend. the region will be staying dry. let's go to north america, talk about more storms and more potential for flooding. to
