On the afternoon of the 17th, rain is falling in Jeju and parts of the southern coast. From the early morning of Saturday the 18th, rain or snow will occur in the southern part of Gyeongbuk. Precipitation is expected to subside in the morning of the same day, but raindrops or snowflakes may fall or flutter in Chungcheong and the northern part of Gyeongbuk at that time. Rain and snow falling between dawn and morning, when temperatures are low during the day, can freeze immediately on the roads, creating black ice, so caution is required.

Rain and snow will start falling again from the southern regions during the day on the 18th, expanding to the inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon and Chungcheong in the late afternoon, and to the metropolitan area and the eastern coast of Gangwon late at night. Most precipitation will stop by the morning of the 19th. Expected precipitation amounts are 5 to 40 mm in Jeju, 5 to 20 mm in Honam and Gyeongnam, and around 5 mm in the central regions, Gyeongbuk, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo.

Snow accumulation is possible mainly in the inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon where temperatures are low. Predicted snowfall amounts are 1 to 5 cm in the northern inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon (with places in the central and northern mountainous areas of Gangwon receiving more than 7 cm), and around 1 cm in the central and southern inland areas of Gangwon.

Until the morning of the 19th, temperatures will be warmer than usual, then it will get colder. After the rain stops, cold air is expected to blow in from the northwest.

The lowest temperature on the morning of the 18th is expected to range from -4°C to 8°C, and the highest temperature during the day is expected to be between 7°C and 13°C. Expected lowest and highest temperatures in major cities are Seoul 2°C to 10°C, Incheon 2°C to 8°C, Daejeon 2°C to 9°C, Gwangju 7°C to 11°C, Daegu 4°C to 10°C, Ulsan 6°C to 13°C, and Busan 8°C to 13°C.
