Heavy snow forecast for eastern Japan

Snow is forecast for wide areas of eastern Japan on Thursday and Friday. There may be heavy snow in Tokyo and on the plains of the southern Kanto region.

Japan Meteorological Agency officials say public transportation could be disrupted on Thursday evening.

Forecasters say a low-pressure system will develop off the Pacific coast of central Japan by Thursday morning, and move east as it grows. They say it is expected to bring a cold air mass to the Kanto-Koshin region.

They forecast snow in the region and Shizuoka Prefecture around dawn on Thursday and Friday.
