According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, a pressure trough passing over the sea south of Jeju will bring rain to the southern coast and Jeju from late afternoon on the 7th until daytime on the 8th. Rain will also fall on the southern coast areas of Jeollanam-do and Gyeongsangnam-do, excluding the southern coast, from early dawn to morning on the 8th. Expected precipitation amounts are 5 to 40 mm for Jeju, 5 to 20 mm for the southern coasts of Jeollanam-do, Gyeongsangnam-do, and Busan, and around 5 mm for Gwangju, Jeollanam-do, Ulsan, and inland Gyeongsangnam-do.

From late night on the 7th to morning on the 8th, rain of about 5 to 30 mm and around 5 mm is expected in the Yeongdong region of Gangwon Province and the northern east coast of Gyeongsangbuk-do, respectively. East winds blowing along the edge of a high-pressure system moving from northeast China toward the East Sea will hit the Taebaek Mountains, causing rainfall. In the mountainous areas of Gangwon Province, clouds will be brought in at low altitudes by the east winds, resulting in dense fog from the afternoon, reducing visibility to less than 200 meters. Caution is advised along with the rain.

East winds blowing from afar will bring strong swells to the east coast over the weekend. Waves reaching about 1.5 meters in height will surge onto the east coast, so it is advisable to avoid going there if possible. High waves caused by swells are also expected along the southern coast and Jeju coast.

Marine conditions will also be unfavorable due to the east winds and the pressure trough. A wind wave advisory is in effect for the outer seas of the central East Sea and the northern outer seas of the southern East Sea, where strong winds of 35 to 60 km/h (10 to 16 m/s) and waves 2.0 to 4.0 meters high are expected until the afternoon of the 8th. Similar wind levels and waves 1 to 2.5 meters high will occur in other parts of the East Sea. From the 8th, winds of 35 to 60 km/h and waves 1 to 2.5 meters high will also affect the eastern seas of the southern coast, the southeastern outer seas of the southern coast, and the seas around Jeju.

Temperatures will remain similar to the average for this time of year (low 8 to 16 degrees Celsius, high 21 to 24 degrees Celsius). Morning temperatures on the day ranged from 7 to 17 degrees Celsius. At 8 a.m., temperatures in major cities were Seoul 12.9°C, Incheon 14.3°C, Daejeon 12.7°C, Gwangju 15.1°C, Daegu 13.7°C, Ulsan 14.8°C, and Busan 18.3°C. The expected daytime high is 20 to 23 degrees Celsius.
