According to the advisory, several areas are expected to be affected by this weather system. These include upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kohistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and some regions of Balochistan. Heavy snowfall is likely in mountainous areas, while plains and lower regions may experience light to moderate rainfall.
