South Korea's central region is expected to see heavy snowfall on Tuesday.
The Korea Meteorological Administration said the snow will start a little after midnight Monday and continue until 3 p.m. on Tuesday.
In a few areas, expect up to ten centimeters of accumulation.
The KMA has issued preliminary snowfall warnings for major cities including Seoul, Incheon, Daejeon and Sejong... with official warnings to start around midnight.
Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do Provinces are expected to get the most snow -- generally around seven centimeters.
Meanwhile, up to five centimeters of snow could be seen in some areas in southern Provinces including Jeolla-do and Gyeongsang-do.
The agency also said the temperatures in central regions tomorrow morning are expected to drop by three to five degrees Celsius... and that the amount of snow could depend on how cold it gets.
It advised early commuters in central cities to be extra careful and take public transporation to work... because there's a high chance the roads will have frozen over by morning.
