[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] On the 18th, snow will fall mainly in the central region, so caution is needed for safety during the morning commute.

During the early hours of the 18th, snow will fall in the metropolitan area, Gangwon Yeongseo, Chungcheong region, Jeonbuk, and the northern inland area of Gyeongbuk.

The expected snowfall amounts are 1?3 cm in Incheon, the southern coast of Gyeonggi, and the West Sea Five Islands, and around 1 cm in other parts of the metropolitan area, Gangwon Yeongseo, Chungcheong region (except southern Chungnam), and mountainous areas of Jeju Island. However, ice patches are expected due to rain or snow that fell since last weekend.

The morning low temperature is forecasted to be between -10 and 0 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high between 0 and 7 degrees Celsius. The sky will be mostly cloudy nationwide, clearing from the north in the morning, and becoming mostly clear or occasionally cloudy in the afternoon.

Sea waves will be 0.5?1.5 m in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5?1.0 m in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5?1.0 m in the South Sea coastal waters.

Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are predicted to be 0.5?3.5 m in the East Sea, and 0.5?1.5 m in the West Sea and South Sea.
