TOKYO, Japan - Organizers of the Tokyo Olympic Games are scrambling to make preparations for severe weather conditions associated with a typhoon that may make landfall sometime Tuesday.

Typhoon Nepartak is expected to approach east and northeastern Japan from the Pacific around Tuesday, according to local news outlet, Kyodo.

Experts say the tropical storm is likely to bring with it winds of up to 126 km per hour and as much as 150 millimeters of rainfall in the Kanto-Koshin region, which includes Tokyo, in the 24 hours through Tuesday morning.
