After a series of storms in the past week, Japan is bracing for another storm to hit its eastern side.

Currently over the western Pacific southeast of Yokosuka, Typhoon Lionrock is moving northeast at 25 kilometers (16 miles) an hour.

Typhoon Lionrock is projected to make landfall in Japan in the next day or two and could strike near Tokyo, just a week after another tropical cyclone pummeled the Japanese capital with rain and winds.

According to Japan Meteorological Agency, the large and “very strong” typhoon may amke landfall between the Kanto region, which includes Tokyo, and northern Japan sometime late Tuesday.

The storm has maximum sustained winds of 162 kilometers per hour (101 mph) and a maximum gust speed of 216 kilometers per hour. Wind speeds are expected to decrease as the typhoon — a category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale — approaches land.

Japan’s Meteorological Agency has issued an advisory warning of high waves and thunderstorms all up its eastern coast.

Both Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways have warned of possible disruptions to flights. Routes to and from the Kanto region encompassing Tokyo on Honshu, Japan’s largest island may be affected, the airlines warned.
