As of the 4th, rain falling on Jeju Island will expand to the Jeolla and Gyeongnam regions by night. In the early morning of the 5th, it will spread to the southern regions and southern Chungcheong, and from the afternoon, it will extend to the central regions, continuing until night.

In the Gangwon mountain area, heavy snowfall is expected between the afternoon of the 5th and the 6th. The anticipated snowfall for the 5th to 6th is 5 to 15 cm in the Gangwon mountain area, 1 to 5 cm in the northeastern mountains of Gyeongbuk, and 1 to 3 cm along the northern East Coast of Gangwon.

On Jeju Island's mountainous areas, 1 to 3 cm of snow is forecast on the 6th. Northern Chungbuk (high mountains), eastern Jeonbuk (near Deogyusan), western inland Gyeongbuk (high mountains), and western inland Gyeongnam (near Jirisan) are expected to receive around 1 cm of snow.

Between the 5th and 6th, icy roads and black ice are expected to appear frequently, especially in Gangwon Yeongdong and the northeastern mountains of Gyeongbuk.
