From now on, General Winter is likely to attack frequently. On Friday the 15th, snow will be heavier along the mountains in the northern Tohoku region. There is a risk of severe blizzard on the 17th (Sunday), especially at sea. Caution and vigilance are required regarding the impact on traffic. The cold weather will continue next week, and there will be more snow on the Sea of Japan side. Please prepare early for the cold and snow.
[First half]Heavy snowfall in northern Tohoku on 15th (Friday), fear of heavy blizzard and heavy storms on 17th (Sunday)
Tomorrow, the 14th (Thursday), it will be sunny mainly on the Pacific side, but on the 15th (Friday), the weather is likely to deteriorate in various places due to the effects of low pressure and fronts. It will rain in many places in the southern Tohoku region, and snow in the northern part of the country. In the afternoon, rain will turn to rain in many places in the north, but wet snow will continue to fall in areas such as Kamikita, Aomori Prefecture, and Ninohe, Iwate Prefecture, where cold winds blow in from the north. There are concerns about the effects of deteriorating road conditions, such as slip accidents. Please drive carefully and be careful of snow accumulating on trees and power lines.
The rain and snow will stop by the morning of the 16th (Saturday) in most places, so it looks like the year-end cleaning will be well underway. However, the rain will start falling again in the evening, and strong cold air will move in.
On the 17th (Sunday), winter-like atmospheric pressure patterns will become stronger, and snow is likely to fall mainly on the Sea of Japan side. By Monday the 18th, snowfall is expected to increase rapidly along the mountains of Yamagata Prefecture and Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture. The winds will be strong, and there is a risk of heavy storms and severe storms, especially on the Sea of Japan coast. It is necessary to be careful and vigilant about the impact of heavy blizzard on transportation. The weather is bitterly cold, and Monday the 18th is likely to be the first mid-winter day of the season in Aomori and Akita cities. Thorough measures against the cold are also essential.
Snow and wind will reach their peak on the 19th (Tuesday), but the midwinter cold will continue.
Depending on the path of the low pressure system, there is a possibility of heavy snow and rain around the 20th (Wednesday), including on the Pacific side.
[Second half]Be careful of snowfall that increases day by day; severe cold continues
During this period, you need to be careful about how the snow falls and how cold it is.
From the 21st (Thursday) to the 22nd (Friday), the winter-like atmospheric pressure pattern will become stronger, and the amount of snow will increase mainly on the Sea of Japan side. The wind will be strong and there will be some blustery areas. Please continue to be careful when driving due to the sudden increase in snowfall and the impact on traffic.
From Saturday the 23rd onwards, it will continue to snow intermittently in northern Tohoku and the Japan Sea side. The severe cold makes it difficult for the accumulated snow to melt, and the amount of snow is expected to increase day by day, especially along the mountains. Sufficient care must be taken to avoid accidents during snow removal work.
Although there are many sunny days in the southern Tohoku region, especially around Sendai, there are likely to be days when snow clouds roll in. Even though the sun is shining, the air is cold and you won’t be without your winter coat.
The timing of the increase in snow and wind may change depending on the forecast. Please continue to check the latest weather information frequently.
Prepare for snow and cold
From now on, it looks like the real winter will finally arrive in Tohoku. Be sure to prepare snow removal and cold protection items such as the ones listed below.
① Please check snow removal equipment such as snow melting agents and shovels. If you try to prepare it last minute, you may not be able to get it.
② Electric or gas heating may become unavailable. Be sure to have cold weather items such as warmers, hot water bottles, and kerosene stoves ready.
③ It is a good idea to have a battery-powered radio or mobile battery so that you can get information even during a power outage.
④ Water supply may freeze due to low temperatures. Store water in your bathtub to prevent water from freezing, stock up on drinking water, and use water for everyday use.
Please check the expiry date and expiration date of goods regularly and be prepared for snowfall.
