On the morning of Friday the 29th, temperatures in most areas will drop below freezing, forecasting icy roads for the morning commute. Snow and rain will fall intermittently in various places, causing the roads to freeze.

The morning low temperatures on the 29th are expected to range from minus 8 degrees to plus 6 degrees Celsius. Most areas will have morning temperatures below freezing, resulting in a 5 to 10 degree Celsius drop in temperature in the central regions within a day.

The daytime high temperatures are expected to be between 3 and 12 degrees Celsius. The expected minimum and maximum temperatures in major cities are: Seoul minus 4 degrees and 5 degrees Celsius, Incheon minus 3 degrees and 5 degrees Celsius, Daejeon minus 2 degrees and 6 degrees Celsius, Gwangju 3 degrees and 9 degrees Celsius, Daegu 0 degrees and 8 degrees Celsius, Ulsan 1 degree and 9 degrees Celsius, and Busan 4 degrees and 11 degrees Celsius.

Temperatures will fall slightly below the average for this time of year, and with somewhat strong winds, it will feel quite cold. Strong winds with gusts of 70 km/h (90 km/h in mountainous areas) will continue until the 29th along the Chungnam west coast, Jeonbuk, Jeonnam coasts, and Jeju. Inland areas and the Gangwon mountainous region will experience strong winds with gusts around 55 km/h (70 km/h in mountainous areas).

Rain or snow is expected to continue until the morning of the 29th in the southern inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, Chungcheong, southern regions, and Jeju. Additional expected snowfall amounts are 5 to 15 cm in Jeju mountainous areas, 2 to 7 cm in eastern Jeonbuk, 1 to 5 cm in Chungcheong, and 1 to 3 cm in southern inland Gangwon, Gangwon mountainous areas, inland Gyeongbuk, northeastern mountainous Gyeongbuk, western inland Gyeongnam, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo. Precipitation amounts are forecasted to be 5 to 30 mm in Jeju, 5 to 10 mm in Jeonbuk, and around or less than 5 mm in other regions.

From the morning of the 29th, rain or snow will fall again in Chungcheong, Honam, Gyeongbuk, northwestern inland Gyeongnam, and Jeju. The Seoul metropolitan area and inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon may experience intermittent rain or snow from afternoon to night. Rainfall is expected to continue until early morning on the 30th in western Honam and Jeju.

Expected snowfall from the morning of the 29th to early morning of the 30th is 3 to 8 cm in Jeju mountainous areas, 1 to 5 cm in southern inland Gyeonggi and inland and mountainous Gangwon, 1 to 3 cm in the Seoul metropolitan area (excluding southern inland Gyeonggi), Chungcheong, eastern Jeonbuk, northern inland Gyeongbuk, northeastern mountainous Gyeongbuk, northwestern inland Gyeongnam, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo, and less than 1 cm in the five western islands.

Coastal areas should be cautious of high waves. Winds will blow very strongly at 30 to 80 km/h across all seas for the time being, and waves will be very high at 1 to 4 meters (up to 5 meters or more at their highest).
