Similar conditions of snow, blowing snow, and ice are forecast for the Ulytau region.

\n\n

Western Kazakhstan faces its own challenges. The Atyrau region is bracing for fog and ice, with strong southern and southwestern winds gusting 15-20 m/s. In the Aktobe region, black ice is expected overnight, transitioning to precipitation (rain and snow) and blowing snow during the day amid strong winds.

\n\n

The Zhetisu region will see patches of fog and icy roads in its southern, eastern, central, and mountainous areas. Meanwhile, the Kyzylorda region can expect fog in its northern and central parts.

\n\n

Northern areas are set for a severe weather event. The Kostanay region will have light snow and blowing snow at night in the north and east, shifting to more widespread precipitation (rain/snow), blowing snow, and ice during the day alongside fog. Strong winds of 15-20 m/s are predicted. The West Kazakhstan region will contend with black ice overnight across the entire area and fog in multiple zones.

\n\n \n\n

The Mangystau region expects ice and fog overnight in southern and northeastern areas. In the south-central part of the country, the Turkistan region forecasts black ice in mountainous zones at night with widespread fog; wind gusts on mountain passes could reach 15-20 m/s.

\n\n \n\n

In the north-central part of the country conditions remain severe: The North Kazakhstan Region will see snowfall turning into a blizzard overnight; light snow continues into Wednesday afternoon alongside blowing winds reaching speeds between fifteen-twenty meters per second near Petropavlovsk where residents should also prepare themselves against low visibility due to drifting powder-like crystals forming drifts along roadways making travel difficult if not impossible without proper equipment such as chains or four-wheel drive vehicles equipped accordingly before venturing out onto highways during these times when temperatures drop below freezing point causing moisture from melted flakes refreezing quickly upon contact creating hazardous driving surfaces known colloquially among locals simply referred too often just called \"black\" because they're nearly invisible until it's too late!
