Linear rainbands were forecast to develop over Tokyo, Saitama, and Chiba prefectures, with rainfall totals expected to reach 250 millimeters in the southern Kanto region. Due to the severe weather, East Japan Railway Co. suspended Yamagata Shinkansen services between Fukushima and Shinjo stations.
Why it matters
