Typhoon Fengshen's Potential Path: US Model Predicts Significant Interaction, Warning of Heavy Rain for Northern and Eastern Taiwan

A tropical disturbance, designated 96W, located near Guam, has the potential to develop into Typhoon Fengshen. Residents are advised to monitor its position and development around Sunday. According to the weather enthusiast page "Watching Weather," a cold-core low-pressure system currently exists to the northeast of 96W. These two systems are expected to interact in the short term, potentially influencing 96W to move slightly northward. However, due to stronger wind shear and downdrafts surrounding the cold-core low, significant development is not anticipated in the immediate future.

"Watching Weather" further explains that as the cold-core low moves northward in the mid-to-late stages, it will enter the area between the subtropical high-pressure ridge and gradually dissipate. This will allow 96W to be guided by the prevailing steering currents once again.
