Heavy snow is expected on Sunday in the northern and southern parts of Kyushu due to strong cold air flowing over the region, with the mountains and plains in northern Kyushu expected to see heavy snow by evening and the mountains in southern Kyushu by early afternoon, according to the weather agencies in Fukuoka and Kagoshima prefectures.

Both weather agencies have called for caution to be taken to avoid traffic hazards due to snow accumulation and icy surfaces. They also called on preparations to be made to manage crops and agricultural facilities and warned of lightning, as well as severe wind gusts.
