Models generally predict that a westerly trough will deepen from the northeastern part of mainland China and gradually move eastward between Tuesday and Wednesday next week. At this time, models generally predict that the subtropical high will disconnect, causing the northward component of Qiangpi to increase. The depth and eastward movement time of this trough will directly affect the flow field of the subtropical high, and in turn affect the direction of Qiangpi after next Wednesday. Currently, Google WN3C The latest forecast of the AI system is that the system will turn north/westward roughly 50/50, and there is no consensus on the later path.
Qiangpi is expected to be closest to Taiwan from next Thursday to next Saturday. The weather conditions in the days before the Liberation Day holiday next week will depend on Qiangpi's expression.
