[Weather] Afternoon rain in store from the west, dusty rain in the capital area

Spring is really in the air now, even the morning chill is easing up.

Meanwhile, a dry weather advisory has been expanded to more regions. But today's nationwide rain will help ease those dry conditions.

Rain will begin later this afternoon in the western parts of Korea, gradually spreading to the rest of the country by tonight, continuing in some areas through tomorrow afternoon. Further south will see heavier rainfall with up to 40 millimeters in the forecast for Jeju.

Heads up for those in the western regions, yellow dust from the Gobi Desert may mix in with the rain this afternoon.

Checking on today's highs now, Seoul and Chuncheon will get up to 18 degrees. Those in the Gyeongsang-do provinces won't need an umbrella during the day unless planning to stay out late.

Weekend rain is in the forecast which will bring down the highs to just 9 degrees in the capital on Sunday. But for today, be sure to keep an umbrella and a face mask if you are in the west!
