Typhoon May be Latest Challenge for Already Strange Tokyo Olympics

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - An already weird Olympics may soon get weirder.

Forecasters say Tropical Storm Nepartak has formed off Japan’s east coast and could hit Tokyo late Monday or Tuesday. It’s still too early to determine the exact path of the storm, but even an indirect hit could affect the Tokyo Games, especially water sports. Accuweather says early indications suggest Nepartak will make landfall as a tropical storm, though “the system reaching typhoon strength upon its arrival onshore has not yet been ruled out.”
