However, he said that there is also a possibility of sharp decline in night temperature during the dry spell in Kashmir from Sunday.
Moreover, Meteorological department (MeT) officials predicted cloudy weather with intermittent light rain at many places of Jammu & plains of Kashmir.
“Light snow (1-2 inches) likely (50% chance) in plains of Kashmir during 9th Night-10th Forenoon whereas few higher reaches may receive 4-6 inches of snow particularly over Gulmarg, Sonamarg-Zojila-Gumri axis, Razdhan Pass, Sadhna pass, Mughal road and sinthan pass,” the MeT officials said.

“Dry weather is expected thereafter till 18th December with occasionally cloudy and light snow over higher reaches of Ganderabal, Kupwara and Bandipora during 12th late night,” MeT officials said.
The MeT aso issued advisory, saying that there may be temporary disruption in surface transportation over Sinthan Top, Mughal Road, Razdan pass, Bandipora-Gurez, Zojila during the above period.
Meanwhile, the snowfall has also led to the closure of some vital roads and highways in Kashmir.
The movement of vehicles inside Chenani-Nashri Tunnel, also known as Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee Tunnel, was restored after remaining suspended for around 4 hours on Friday due to power shutdown, officials said.
Officials said that traffic inside the Tunnel was suspended due to a power shutdown.
