《TAIPEI TIMES》 Low-pressure system to bring unstable weather

/ Staff writer, with CNATaiwan is forecast to have unstable weather this week, with a low-pressure system expected to bring heavy rain to some areas, the Central Weather Administration （CWA） said yesterday.請繼續往下閱讀...Moisture carried by southwesterly winds, combined with the low-pressure system, is expected to affect central and southern Taiwan this week, with intermittent rain possible throughout the day and heavy localized rainfall forecast in southern areas, the CWA said.Elsewhere, active convection is expected to bring afternoon showers during the week, it added.The low-pressure system could lead to the development of more tropical weather systems, creating uncertainty about the weather, it said.The low-pressure system began impacting Taiwan yesterday, it said.A heavy rain advisory was issued in 15 administrative regions across the country yesterday.A heavy rain warning means rainfall of more than 80mm in 24 hours or more than 40mm in one hour, according to the CWA.Today, brief localized showers are expected in southern and eastern Taiwan, while partly cloudy to sunny skies are forecast elsewhere and afternoon showers are possible in mountainous areas south of Hsinchu County, the CWA said.From tomorrow through Wednesday, northern, eastern and southern Taiwan should see brief showers, while heavy rain is possible in mountainous areas of central and southeastern Taiwan in the afternoons, it said.On Thursday and Friday, sporadic rainfall is likely in Keelung, along the northern coast, and in southern and eastern Taiwan, with mostly cloudy skies forecast elsewhere and afternoon thunderstorms possible, it added.WeatherRisk, a Taiwanese weather forecasting page, said that a low-pressure disturbance is expected to move near Taiwan from Wednesday through Friday.It remains unclear whether the system would strengthen into a tropical depression or typhoon, but it is expected to bring more unstable weather, with rain across Taiwan and a chance of heavy downpours, it said in a post.Projections for the system’s intensity and track remain highly uncertain, it said, urging the public to keep an eye on the latest forecasts this week.新聞來源：TAIPEI TIMES
