The morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between -7 and 1℃, and the daytime highs between 2 and 9℃. Until the 8th, temperatures will be similar to or slightly higher than the average (morning lows -11 to 0℃, daytime highs 2 to 9℃), but it will be cold with morning temperatures around -10℃ in the Gangwon mountain areas and northeastern Gyeongbuk mountain areas.

Due to the influence of a low-pressure trough, from the night of the 6th to early morning of the 7th, less than 1 cm of snow is expected in northern Gyeonggi, southeastern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, northern Chungbuk, northern Gyeongbuk, and northeastern Gyeongbuk mountain areas.

In most other regions nationwide, light raindrops less than 0.1 mm or snowflakes less than 0.1 cm may fall until dawn.

In the morning, some rain or snow is expected in central and southern Gangwon Yeongdong, and from morning to night, light raindrops less than 0.1 mm may fall along the southern Gangwon East Coast and the eastern Gyeongbuk East Coast.

Visibility will be reduced and roads may be slippery in areas where rain or snow falls, so caution is advised for traffic safety.

Fine dust levels will be between 'Good' and 'Moderate' nationwide, but the Seoul metropolitan area is expected to reach 'Bad' levels at night.

In the Gangwon mountain areas, dense fog with visibility below 200 meters may form due to the inflow of low clouds.

Strong winds of 30 to 45 km/h (8 to 12 m/s) and high waves are expected in the southern offshore areas of the West Sea, southern offshore areas of Jeju Island, and the outer central offshore areas of the East Sea, so vessels engaged in navigation or fishing should exercise caution.

Wave heights will be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the South Sea nearshore.
