A lot of snow is expected in the central region including the metropolitan area from early morning tomorrow (21st).



It seems that up to 15cm will accumulate in the northern regions of Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon, and reporter Jeong Gu-hee will tell you in detail.



[ Reporter] A



strong low pressure will pass through the northern part of the Korean Peninsula tomorrow.



Because the low pressure sucks in the air, it creates an updraft, and this effect creates a huge snow cloud that is more than 3 km thick and snows.



Due to the influence of these snow clouds, from early morning tomorrow, it is expected that Seoul, Gyeonggi, Chungbuk, and Gyeongbuk will have 2 to 8 cm of snow, and northern Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon will have more than 15 cm of snow.



The 2-8cm snow forecast for Seoul is actually a bit broad.



2 cm of snow is not a lot, but if it exceeds 5 cm, which is the standard for heavy snowfall warnings, there is a concern that traffic will be paralyzed.



The reason why the forecast is so wide is because of tomorrow's temperature.



Snow will fall and pile up tomorrow morning, but there is a possibility that the falling snow will change to rain or sleet as the temperature rises to the freezing level from 9:00 am in Seoul.



Today, the cold wave has eased a little as the cold air that looks purple now rises up the Korean Peninsula.



However, starting tomorrow afternoon, the situation will change completely.



In the place where the low pressure escaped, cold air of -40 degrees Celsius descended to the Korean Peninsula, covering the entire Korean peninsula.



Because of this, it is expected that the cold wave will start from Thursday.



On Friday, the temperature in Seoul will drop to 14 degrees below zero and 19 degrees below zero in Cheorwon, so the cold wave will reach its peak.



Because of this cold wave, it is expected that snow will continue to fall in the center of the west coast.



What you are looking at now is a satellite map.



When the cold air from the north comes down toward the Korean Peninsula, it meets the relatively warm West Sea, forming snow clouds like this. Due to the influence of these snow clouds, it is expected that it will continue to snow in Chungnam until the 23rd and in Honam and Jeju Island until the 24th.



It's a snowy white Christmas, but you need to pay attention to the weather situation until the weekend as there are concerns about traffic accidents and collapse accidents.
