A typhoon could wreak havoc on the Tokyo Olympics next week — only the latest worry facing the troubled competition.
The potential storm may head dangerously close to Japan’s capital city Monday, just days into the Summer Games, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
Forecasters warned that there’s a “medium chance” for “potential tropical development.”
The storm is currently forming in the Philippine Sea and expected to travel west over the weekend, forecasters said.
The storm warning is just the latest hurdle for Olympic organizers, who have been trying to keep athletes safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Still, surfers who arrived in Tokyo for the Games couldn’t be happier about the potential weather surge.
