On Wednesday, 23rd today, snow continues on the Sea of ​​Japan side due to the pressure distribution of high west and low east and the strong cold air above.

Be wary of snow damage that continues in winter-type pressure distribution

Today, the developed low pressure system of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk is slowly moving northeast. However, the movement is slow, and the area around Japan has a strong winter-type pressure distribution.

Snow continues on the Sea of ​​Japan side, and the amount of snow is increasing. In Tsunan, Niigata Prefecture, the amount of snowfall for 72 hours reached 158 cm by 9 am.

The amount of snowfall exceeded 4m at 3:00 am and has increased to 407 cm as of 9:00.

It is the first time in 16 years since 2006 that the snow depth exceeds 4m.

On the Sea of ​​Japan side, snow will continue intermittently, mainly along the mountains, and there is a risk that snow will increase further tomorrow, 24th (Thursday). It is safe to remove snow frequently.

Please try to remove the snow from the roof while talking to multiple people.

Over the peak of snow tomorrow Be wary of melting snow on weekends

Tomorrow, the low pressure system of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk will move further east, and the mobile high pressure system will approach from the continent.

It is expected that the strong winter-type pressure distribution will gradually disappear and the snow area will shrink.

It is expected that the temperature will rise to around 10 degrees Celsius in Hokuriku this weekend as the cold air in the sky moves northward.

As snowmelt progresses at once, it is necessary to be cautious about the occurrence of avalanches and falling snow from the roof.
