8 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 16, Japan time: As a precaution, Okinawa entered Tropical Cyclone Condition of Readiness 3 early this morning, though peak winds are still forecast to be no stronger than 46 mph sustained and 63-mph gusts at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Okinawa should experience sustained 40-mph winds from 11 a.m. Tuesday to 3 a.m. Wednesday, if Prapiroon stays on its current forecast track. The operative word being “if.”
