As of 8:00 p.m. Saturday, Typhoon Nida was centered some 1,000 kilometers southeast of Taiwan and moving in a northwest to west-northwesterly direction at a speed of 20 km per hour, according to the CWB.

Earlier in the day, Lin Ting-yi (林定宜), a forecaster with the bureau, said if the storm kept moving in a northwesterly direction, it could make a landfall in Taiwan.

Lin expected Nida to come closest to Taiwan on Monday and bring showers to southeastern Taiwan beginning Sunday.     [FULL  STORY]
