Taipei, Nov. 13 (CNA) Most of Taiwan is expected to see partly cloudy to sunny skies Friday before rain spreads across western Taiwan and Yilan County on Saturday afternoon, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) said Friday.

Mountainous areas in Greater Taipei, the Keelung coast, eastern Taiwan and the Hengchun Peninsula could see isolated brief showers Friday, according to the CWA.

Highs in eastern Taiwan will range from 26 to 28 degrees Celsius, while those in western Taiwan could reach 30 to 32 degrees, making for "warm and comfortable conditions," the CWA said.

However, temperatures will remain relatively cool at night and in the early morning, with lows of around 19 to 22 degrees, it said.

The weather agency said a cloud system moving east from southern China is expected to bring cloudy skies to most of Taiwan on Saturday morning. Localized rain is possible in Hualien County and other parts of eastern Taiwan.

Showers are forecast in western and northeastern Taiwan on Saturday afternoon, when convective activity could bring sudden downpours and strong winds, the CWA said.

Meanwhile, independent meteorologist Wu Der-rong (吳德榮) said weather conditions would improve Sunday, though eastern Taiwan could still see isolated brief showers.

Western Taiwan is expected to be mostly sunny Monday, while occasional brief showers are possible in the east. Sunny skies are forecast across Taiwan on Tuesday, with temperatures gradually rising, said Wu.
