[기상센터][날씨] Snow from night in the cold… worrying about the ice on the way to work tomorrow

[앵커]

With the strong cold coming again, a lot of snow is expected to fall in the inland areas including the metropolitan area from tonight.

As this snow is expected to continue until tomorrow, traffic congestion on the road to work is concerned.

We will connect reporters to find out the cold and snow prospects. Reporter Jeong Hye-yoon!

Let’s start with the cold. The temperature has dropped to around -10 degrees Celsius again?

[기자]

Yes, with the temperature dropping more than yesterday, the temperature in Seoul this morning hit -10.8 degrees Celsius.

The daytime temperature will also stay below zero, and the perceived temperature will be lower than this, so it will stay below zero.

However, this strong cold is unlikely to last as long as last time.

Rather than being affected by the Arctic cold wave, the typical winter weather has come from the cold continental high pressure zone.

This week, it is expected that the cold will go up and down around -10 degrees Celsius until the middle of the year and then exceed the usual temperature again from the second half.

However, as the temperature fluctuates greatly, immunity tends to decline, so it is likely that health care should be taken care of.

Is there snow forecast from night?

[기자]

Yes, it is.

Snow clouds are expected to flow in from the night following the strong cold.

It is expected that snow will continue to the west coast during the day, and then snow will accumulate in the central and western regions including the metropolitan area from the affected area of ​​Gapgol.

This snow will continue until tomorrow afternoon, and heavy snow warnings are expected to be issued in some areas.

The area where the most snow is expected is the south central region of Yeongseo, Gangwon, where heavy snowfall of up to 15cm or more will pour.

In other areas of Gangwon, the eastern part of Gyeonggi and the northern part of Chungbuk, there will be a maximum of 10cm, and a lot of snow of 2-7cm in Seoul.

The duration of this snowfall is long, and traffic congestion is a concern as it is expected that there will be many places with snow on the way to work tomorrow morning.

In particular, as it seems that there are many places where the snow that has fallen due to low temperatures will freeze and form an ice sheet, it is necessary to prepare for road slip accidents.
