Severe winter weather is expected to hit the West Coast tomorrow, bringing heavy snow and intense cold. Residents should prepare for significant disruptions to their weekend plans due to these conditions.
Subzero Temperatures and Heavy Snow Forecast
The forecasts indicate that the West Coast will experience an extreme drop in temperatures, with some areas recording lows in the negative double digits. For instance, tomorrow morning, temperatures in Seoul may plummet to -13 degrees Celsius.
Snow Accumulation Details
Heavy snowfall will create a winter landscape across various regions. Key predictions include:
- Jeju Island: Up to 30 cm of snow in mountainous areas.
- South Jeolla and West Coast: Anticipated accumulations of up to 10 cm.
- Hourly snowfall rates of up to 5 cm in multiple areas.
As a result, travelers should brace for potential disruptions at airports, especially in Jeju, where flight schedules may be affected by the heavy snow.
Cold and Dry Conditions Persist
Inland areas will face a continuous chill. The central region experienced temperatures below -10 degrees Celsius this morning. The severe cold snap is expected to persist throughout the weekend.
The weather is also accompanied by a dry atmosphere. Meteorological experts warn that persistent dry northwesterly winds will lead to exceptionally arid conditions, particularly in the capital and eastern areas.
Fire Safety Precautions
Due to the lack of snowfall on the eastern coast, a drought alert remains in effect. Authorities urge residents to exercise caution to prevent fire hazards, particularly in susceptible regions.
