We start with Typhoon Soulik which made landfall in mainland Korea late last night.<br />The system --- which is weakening -- is moving in a northerly direction at a speed of 30 kilometers an hour from the Jeolla-do Provinces to the Chungcheong-do Provinces,... and is now sweeping across the central city of Daejeon.<br />That's where our Choi Si-young is for us this morning.<br />Si-young, it's still relatively calm here in Seoul... which is 140 kilometers north of where you are, but how's the weather looking down there?<br /><br /> Well, Mark. <br />As we speak, the eye of Typhoon Soulik is passing through the southern districts of Daejeon.<br />As you can see, it's only raining lightly here right now,... and wind is weak.<br />But a typhoon warning is STILL in place.<br />The weather agency forecasts up to 120 millimeters of rainfall in the area.<br /><br /> All kindergartens and elementary schools in the city are shutting down for one day today, including the special school for the underprivileged. <br />In nearby Chungcheongnam-do Province, about 90 schools are closed for the day,... middle and high school students are likely to go to school later than usual. <br /><br /> The typhoon's trajectory has shifted from its earlier projection.<br />After hitting Daejeon, Soulik will pass Chungju at around 9 a.m. and Gangneung at around noon before exiting the nation.<br /><br />I will keep you posted throughout the day. Back to you, Mark. <br />
