China issues snow storm warnings

CHINA'S weather observatory on Saturday issued a blue alert, the lowest in the four-tier color-coded weather warning system, for snow storm in Beijing and neighboring regions.

Snowstorms will hit Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and northern provinces of Shanxi and Hebei as well as Beijing and Tianjin municipalities on Saturday and Sunday, with some areas expected to see snowfall of up to 12 millimeters, the National Meteorological Center said.

The center suggested snow-hit areas take precautions as temperatures were forecast to plunge.

In China's four-tier color-coded weather warning system, red represents the most severe weather, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
