Tropical Storm 10W (Malou), # 6

1 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 4: Sorry, I was out doing my other job (covering high school sports).

Destructive winds of 58-mph or greater are not forecast to occur on Okinawa on Saturday. Expect sustained 40-mph winds with 46-mph gusts between 9 a.m. and noon.

Unless Malou's track turns more toward Korea in the coming days, PST will sign off for now.

About the Author


Dave Ornauer has been with Stars and Stripes since March 5, 1981. One of his first assignments as a beat reporter in the old Japan News Bureau was “typhoon chaser,” a task which he resumed virtually full time since 2004, the year after his job, as a sports writer-photographer, moved to Okinawa and Ornauer with it.

As a typhoon reporter, Ornauer pores over Web sites managed by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center as well as U.S. government, military and local weather outlets for timely, topical information. Pacific Storm Tracker is designed to take the technical lingo published on those sites and simplify it for the average Stripes reader.
