Tomorrow it would be cloudy and temperatures will range between 5 and 12 degrees. Friday's forecast calls for temperatures between minus 3 and 1 degree while the mercury will fluctuate from minus 4 to 3 degrees on Saturday.
The temperature is expected to drop to a low of minus 4 on Sunday, which is also Lunar New Year's Eve. The weather bureau cautioned that it could be even colder this weekend with a low of minus 9 in the city's suburbs.
