The Korea Meteorological Administration forecast that rain or snow will begin to fall in the central region from noon before steadily expanding throughout the entire nation.
 
Heavy snow is expected for the central region’s inland areas and the southern region’s mountainous areas from Monday evening. 
 
The weather agency projected that regions west of the Daegwallyeong mountain pass in Gangwon Province will see up to 20 centimeters of snow. Gyeonggi Province’s eastern regions, North Chungcheong Province and northern regions in North Gyeongsang Province are expected to receive 3 to 15 centimeters of snow.
