Central News Agency (CNA, Taipei, July 4) The Central Weather Administration (CWA) stated that Typhoon Bavi has the potential to strengthen slightly over the next four days, with its storm radius possibly expanding to a maximum of 350 kilometers. It is forecast to be closest to Taiwan on July 10th and 11th, and the CWA has not ruled out issuing sea and land warnings. Northern Taiwan and Yilan are advised to prepare for heavy rain, with mountainous areas cautioned against localized torrential downpours. CWA forecaster Cheng Chieh-jen told CNA that as of 2 PM today, the center of the severe typhoon Bavi was located approximately 3,360 kilometers east-southeast of Eluanbi. For the foreseeable future, it will move westward. Around July 8th and 9th, it is expected to begin a gradual northward turn. The path and angle of this turn will depend on the strength and distribution of the Pacific high-pressure system, and there remains some uncertainty. "There is a higher probability of it passing over the sea, but it is not impossible for it to make landfall," he said. Cheng Chieh-jen pointed out that the environment will remain relatively conducive to Bavi's development over the next four days, with the potential for a slight increase in intensity. Its current storm radius is about 300 kilometers, and it is estimated to reach a maximum of 350 kilometers. However, after its northward turn, the environmental conditions will be less favorable than before, and its intensity and storm radius may gradually weaken or shrink. The extent of this weakening remains to be observed. Regarding the weather for the coming week, Cheng Chieh-jen stated that until July 8th, the region will be influenced by the Pacific high-pressure system, with sunny to partly cloudy skies across the island. Only Taitung and the Hengchun Peninsula may experience isolated showers. Other areas will see afternoon thunderstorms, with varying ranges. Cheng Chieh-jen noted that tomorrow, northern and central Taiwan, a
