Heavy snowfall on the way to work tomorrow… Possibility of heavy snow warning
The Meteorological Administration announced that it snowed in the metropolitan area, the central and southern regions of Yeongseo, Gangwon, Chungcheong region, Jeonbuk, and western Gyeongbuk, and from early morning to morning on the 18th, it snowed in other central regions, Jeonbuk, northern Jeonnam, Gyeongbuk, and western Gyeongnam It predicted that the region would be expanded.
In particular, there is a high possibility that a large amount of snow will fall intensively in a short time due to the influence of the snow cloud that developed from early morning to morning on the 18th.
Estimated snowfall is in the central region (excluding the east coast), Jeonbuk, northern Jeollanam-do, Gyeongbuk region (excluding the east coast), inland west of Gyeongnam, 5 islands in the west, Ulleungdo and Dokdo 3-10 cm (more than 15 cm in the middle and south of Gangwon-do).

The Meteorological Administration issued heavy snow preliminary warnings in the metropolitan area, including all of Seoul, and Gangwon, Chungcheong, Jeonbuk, and Gyeongsang, starting at 11 am, and the warning is expected to be reinforced with heavy snow warnings in the future. The heavy snow warning went into effect at 1:20 pm on the 5th island of the West Sea.
An official from the Meteorological Administration emphasized, “Because strong eyes are concentrated in the metropolitan area and Gangwon Yeongseo during the morning rush hour on Monday (18th), it may cause traffic congestion, so please prepare thoroughly in advance.”
As the warm western wind blows, the temperature on the 18th will temporarily rise significantly and will be 3 to 9 degrees higher than the previous day. However, at night, as cold air flows in from the northwest again, the temperature on the morning of the 19th drops sharply, so it is very cold, so you need to be careful about the decline in immunity due to rapid temperature changes.
The minimum temperature in the morning by region on the 18th is expected to be 8 to 0 degrees below zero and the highest temperature in the daytime to 1 to 8 degrees below zero.
The three patterns combine to create a complex and unusual heavy snow

From this afternoon to night, snow clouds on the west coast enter the east with a western wind, and snow falls in the western regions of Korea, and between early morning and morning on the 18th, as the northwestern low pressure increases and the southwest wind strengthens, snow clouds in the metropolitan area and Gangwon Yeongseo area Shows this developing appearance.
In the afternoon of the 18th, as high pressure approaches to the northwest, the northwest wind becomes stronger and the remaining snow clouds develop, and snow is expected to come mainly in Gangwon-do, Chungcheong, and Gyeongsang inland.
As such, as the three snow patterns are mixed for 24 hours, the snowfall may fluctuate by time and the overall amount of snowfall may increase.
An official from the Meteorological Agency said, “The amount of snow will be the same or more as the two patterns appear more mixed than when it snowed before. However, it cannot be said that snow is coming in the same area as the area where it snowed before. There is a lot of snow in Gangwon,” he explained.
“In the case of the last 6 days, the temperature was very low, so it froze as soon as it snowed, but this time the temperature is a little higher than that,” he said. “However, if the temperature is below freezing after snowing, there is a possibility of freezing. “There is.”
On the 6th and 12th, if it snowed during the rush hour, this time before the rush hour is also different.

It is unusual to see a lot of snow every week as recently.
An official from the Meteorological Agency said, “I cannot affirm that there may be a difference between the seasons of strong and heavy snow, but it is unusual and stronger than before,” he said. “The strong west wind makes the snow fall a little stronger than the normal winter season. “He explained.
Snow may come once more on the 23rd to 24th.
The Meteorological Administration predicted that rain or snow may occur in the central region on the 23rd to 24th, and rain may occur in the southern regions and Jeju Island due to the influence of the cloud band accompanying the pneumatic valley going north near Shanghai, China.
In particular, there is a possibility that precipitation or snow cover will increase in the east coast affected by the east wind, the south coast affected by the topography, and the mountainous areas of Jeju Island.
The Meteorological Administration explained, “Depending on the degree of development of the pneumatic bone moving in the west sea and near Shanghai, China, the time of precipitation and the region may change or the amount of precipitation or snowfall may be higher than expected, so please refer to the weather information released in the future.”
