May 28 (Bloomberg) -- A tropical storm formed over the Pacific Ocean east of the Philippines and the system may strengthen into a typhoon as it heads for the southern islands of Japan, the U.S. Navy Joint Typhoon Warning Center said.
Tropical Storm Nakri, the sixth storm of the northwestern Pacific cyclone season, was 1,129 kilometers (701 miles) south- southwest of the Japanese island of Iwoto, formerly known as Iwo Jima, at 9 a.m. Tokyo time today, the center said.
Nakri's maximum sustained winds were blowing at 102 kilometers per hour, with gusts to 130 kilometers an hour, the center said. Waves in the vicinity of Nakri's eye were 4.3 meters (14 feet) high. The storm was moving north-northwest at about 9 kilometers per hour.
The storm is forecast to maintain that path through tomorrow before turning northeast and heading for Iwoto. The storm is expected to become a typhoon by 9 p.m. today with winds of 120 kilometers per hour, navy forecasters said.
Nakri is the name of a flower in Cambodia, according to the Web site of the Hong Kong Observatory, which lists names used for tropical storms and typhoons that form in the northwest Pacific.
