In other regions including Chungcheong, Jeolla, and the northern inland and northeastern mountains of Gyeongbuk, there may be raindrops of less than 0.1mm or snow of less than 0.1cm.

Expected precipitation is less than 5mm in eastern Gyeonggi and inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, around 1mm in Seoul, Incheon, western Gyeonggi, and the five islands of the Yellow Sea, and about 1mm in the northern west coast of Chungcheongnam-do. Ullengdo and Dokdo are expected to see about 1mm of rain in the afternoon.
