I’m on NRT-ORD (UA882) on October 22nd. I’m hesitant to change because it cuts my trip short and eliminates a bunch of stuff we had planned.
Do you guys have any recommendations for keeping an eye on the status of this storm?

Watching this too
Supposed to arrive Narita on Sunday at 3pm. Just seeing that 3-5 inches of rain are predicted that day. Guessing my flight will be cancelled. 
Wish I could have left today but some of my family had work stuff they couldn't get out of.

Exact same. Only I booked on ANA to save a few bucks and they aren't recognizing Tuesday as a problem yet. I don't want to be the first person to touch down after a typhoon, even if it's possible. Ugh.

Have any flights been proactively cancelled yet?
I am flying BKK-NRT-IAD on the 23rd, with only 1hr in NRT. I will probably just take my chances...if I end up needing to stay another day in BKK or get stuck in Tokyo, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.

So far Sunday's flight from SFO is delayed an hour due to weather in the route network... it doesn't seem like too many people are switching flights either, biz is nearly full in my flight.
