BEIJING - Snow will hit southwest China's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from Saturday to Monday, the National Meteorological Center forecast on Saturday.

Southern parts of Tibet will see blizzards, it warned.

Snow will blanket northwest Xinjiang and southeast Jilin from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.

Smog will linger in north China, Sichuan basin and regions along the Yellow, Yangtze and Huaihe rivers on Saturday and Sunday.

A cold front on Monday will move from north China to south China and dispel the smog.
