Conditions are to remain relatively stable tomorrow, although cloud cover is to increase in western Taiwan, forecasters said. Beginning on Wednesday, a passing front and strengthening northeasterly seasonal winds are to bring showers to Taiwan's northern coast, eastern Taiwan, the Hengchun Peninsula (恆春半島) and mountainous parts of northern Taiwan, the CWA said. Although the seasonal winds are forecast to weaken on Thursday, another approaching front is to lead to ongoing rain in northern and eastern Taiwan, with showers gradually intensifying, it said. Rainfall would become more widespread during the 228 holiday weekend, the CWA said, adding that from Friday to Sunday, temperature and moisture conditions may support sporadic snowfall on mountains above 3,500m.
