According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 11th, the minimum temperature on the morning of the 12th is expected to range from -7 to 5 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature will be between 2 and 12 degrees Celsius. Temperatures will remain above the average for the weekend on Saturday the 13th (average lows of -12 to 0 degrees Celsius, highs of 0 to 8 degrees Celsius).

From early morning to morning on the 12th, fog with visibility less than 1 km is expected mainly around the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong region, and Jeolla region. Fog will be denser near rivers, lakes, valleys, and tunnel entrances and exits.

The Korea Meteorological Administration urged drivers to reduce speed and pay special attention to traffic safety to prevent accidents such as collisions.

In the northern mountainous areas of Gangwon and the northern east coast of Gangwon, where a strong wind advisory is in effect, winds will be very strong with gusts exceeding 70 km/h (20 m/s) until tonight. Additionally, strong winds with gusts around 55 km/h (15 m/s) are expected in other parts of Gangwon Yeongdong, the northeastern mountains of Gyeongbuk, and the east coast of Gyeongbuk.

In areas where snow has recently accumulated, melted snow during the day is expected to freeze overnight, creating icy roads or black ice. The Korea Meteorological Administration emphasized that icy roads may also form on less exposed roads, alleys, slopes, and shaded roads where temperatures remain low during the day, urging caution for both traffic and pedestrian safety.

On the 12th, fine dust levels are expected to be 'moderate' nationwide. However, in the early morning, fine dust concentrations may increase somewhat due to inflow from abroad.
