Weather officials in Japan say a large and powerful typhoon is expected to approach the Daito Islands in Okinawa Prefecture on Saturday and the Amami region of Kagoshima Prefecture and the southern Kyushu region by Saturday night.
After moving over the Kyushu region through Monday, Typhoon Nanmadol is forecast to head northeast and travel across Japan's main island, Honshu, to eastern and northern Japan through Tuesday.
The typhoon could cause disruptions in many regions during the three-day weekend through Monday. Weather officials are urging people to be prepared.
The Meteorological Agency says that at 5 a.m. on Saturday, Nanmadol was traveling northwest over the sea 240 kilometers east of Minami Daito Island at 20 kilometers per hour.
The typhoon had a central atmospheric pressure of 910 hectopascals. It was packing winds of up to 198 kilometers per hour near its center, with peak gusts reaching 270 kilometers per hour.
Officials say the typhoon will hit the Daito Islands with violent winds, and generate very rough seas.
On Saturday, the wind speed is projected to hit a maximum of 108 kilometers per hour in the Amami region and southern Kyushu, and 90 kilometers per hour in the Daito Islands. Peak gusts will be in the range of 126 kilometers to 162 kilometers per hour.
Winds are expected to get even stronger on Sunday, increasing to 144 kilometers to 180 kilometers per hour in the Amami region and southern Kyushu, 108 kilometers to 144 kilometers per hour in northern Kyushu, 90 kilometers to 104 kilometers per hour in the Shikoku region, and 72 kilometers to 86 kilometers per hour in Daito, Chugoku and Kinki.
Seas will also be very rough around southern Kyushu, the Daito Islands and the Amami region, with waves expected to reach heights of 12 meters in southern Kyushu and 10 meters in Daito and Amami.
Tide levels are expected to rise in northern Kyushu, the Chugoku region and the Shikoku region from Sunday through Tuesday. Storm surges and big swells could cause flooding in coastal areas and lowlands around river mouths.
Rainfall in the 24-hour period through late Saturday afternoon could reach 250 millimeters in southern Kyushu, the Amami region and the Tokai region, 200 millimeters in Daito Islands and the Shikoku region, 180 millimeters in the Kinki region, 150 millimeters in northern Kyushu and 100 millimeters in the Kanto Koshin regions.
Weather officials have issued a warning for violent gusts, big swells and storm surges, landslides, swollen rivers, and flooding -- mainly in western Japan, Okinawa and Amami.
The typhoon could cause extensive disruptions to transportation services during the three-day holiday.
Weather officials are urging residents in areas likely to be affected to keep checking the latest forecasts and warnings, refrain from non-essential outings, and be well prepared.

King Charles has been busy traveling across the UK to attend memorial services ahead of Queen Elizabeth's funeral. He wrapped up his tour with a visit to Wales on Friday.
Charles was, for six decades, the Prince of Wales. He and Queen Consort Camilla were greeted by huge crowds as they made their way to Llandaff Cathedral.
They later visited the Welsh Parliament. King Charles said he feels "immense gratitude" for the privilege of having served the people as their Prince.
Back in London, the line of mourners waiting to pay their respects to the queen just keeps getting longer. Among them was David Beckham, former captain of England's national soccer team.
He said he wanted to celebrate with everyone the life of the Queen and the legacy she has left.
Preparations for the Queen's funeral on Monday are in their final stages. Police say it will be their biggest security operation ever. Royals and heads of state from around the world are flying in for the event.

Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako have left for Britain to attend the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
The plane carrying the Emperor and the Empress took off from Tokyo's Haneda Airport shortly after 11:20 a.m. on Saturday.
The couple left the Imperial Palace earlier in the day, with their daughter Princess Aiko seeing them off.
The couple was greeted at the airport by Crown Prince and Crown Princess Akishino and Upper House President Otsuji Hidehisa, as well as the British Ambassador to Japan.
The plane is scheduled to land at Stansted Airport, near London, on Saturday afternoon.
The couple will attend the state funeral, which will take place at Westminster Abbey in central London on Monday.
They will leave Britain later in the day and return to Japan on Tuesday.
This will be the couple's first overseas trip since the Emperor ascended the throne in 2019. It is also the first overseas trip for Empress Masako since 2015, when the couple visited Tonga while they were Crown Prince and Princess.
During the Emperor's absence, Crown Prince Akishino will serve as a temporary agent to conduct state affairs, for the first time ever.

Saturday marks 30 years since Japan sent its Self-Defense Forces to Cambodia for UN peace-keeping operations.
The SDF's first peace-keeping mission, which began in 1992, helped the Southeast Asian country to rebuild after decades of civil war.
Many Japanese civilians also contributed to Cambodia's recovery. In 1993, a police officer on a UN peace-keeping mission and a man working as a UN volunteer were shot dead.
Malinda Kosal, a spokesperson for the National Centre for Peacekeeping Forces, Mines and ERW Clearance, told NHK that Cambodia will not forget how Japan contributed to Cambodia's peace.
She said Cambodia is a small country but that it has acquired many friends by sending its own peace-keepers on UN operations.
Since 2006, Cambodia has sent more than 8,000 peace-keeping troops on missions to nine countries, for the removal of landmines and other tasks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has condemned Russia after a mass burial site was found in Izyum in the country's Kharkiv region.
Zelenskyy said in an online video on Friday that more than 440 graves had been found in Izyum, but added, "It is too early to say about the number of people buried there." He said there was clear evidence of torture, and the humiliating treatment of people.
He said Russia has repeated in Izyum what it did in Bucha. Bodies of more than 400 people were found in the town of Bucha, northwest of Kyiv, after Russian troops withdrew from the area.
A Ukrainian prosecutor overseeing the investigation told reporters that there were numerous bodies with signs of torture, with ropes tied around their neck and hands. The prosecutor said that more than 500 civilians could be buried in the mass grave.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a news conference on Friday that building the evidence and documenting was important "to making sure that those who've committed atrocities and those who ordered them are held accountable."
He said the United States would work with other countries to pursue Russia's "atrocities" that are likely to amount to war crimes.
A spokesperson for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said the organ wants to send a team to Izyum to investigate.

In a speech at the annual ringing of the Peace Bell at the UN headquarters in New York, the head of the United Nations said the world should be "rallying together" to tackle common challenges instead of fighting.
The event took place in the Japanese garden on Friday, ahead of the International Day of Peace on September 21.
Japan donated the bell in 1954 under the initiative of Nakagawa Chiyoji, a peace activist from the western prefecture of Ehime. The bell was cast from coins donated by UN member states.
Nakagawa's daughter, Takase Seiko, attended the ceremony.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres told the gathering, "As we meet today, peace is under assault," an apparent reference to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
He added, "Instead of fighting each other on the battlefield, humanity should be rallying together to tackle the common challenges we face. Like poverty, hunger and inequality. Climate change and biodiversity loss."
Japan's UN Ambassador Ishikane Kimihiro said after the ceremony that this year in particular, he hopes people will appreciate the sound of the Peace Bell. He said he hopes the event will be an opportunity for a divided world to come together.
