Nanmadol made landfall over Kagoshima City about an hour ago according to JMA. The center passed over a JMA station (blue dot) and recorded a min SLP of about 940mb, and although winds were not particularly intense, there was still a notable lull observed in the center of the storm.

JMA should soon recognize that Nanmadol is no longer even close to being a TS. Its circulation is nearly gone, merged with a cold front. JMA is forecasting it to remain a TS for 24 more hours????
