Sinlaku has gone from a typhoon to a tropical storm in the early morning hours of Sept. 16, which is good news for Japan, because that's where it's headed. Sinlaku should arrive in extreme southwestern Japan by Thursday, Sept. 18.

On Sept. 16 at 15:00 Zulu Time (11:00 a.m. EDT), Sinlaku's center was about 175 nautical miles west-northwest of Naha, Okinawa, Japan. That's near 27.3 degrees north and 124.9 degrees east. It's moving east-northeastward near 5 knots (6 mph). Sinlaku's maximum sustained winds have now decreased to 45 knots, or 54 mph, making it a tropical storm.
