Weather It Is (Very Rainy)

Good Morning:

A potent storm is on the way. As the storm moves in on Thursday, temperatures should drop by 7 or 8 C.  With the cold weather will come plenty of moisture, and heavy rain should fall south through Hebron and even to Beer-Sheva.  In the Jerusalem area, there will likely be more than 50 mm by sometime on Friday.  Flooding is a definite possibility in the Jordan and Dead Sea Valleys.

Afterwards, the temperatures will remain chilly, and then another storm should approach and drop temperatures again. Some of the ensemble forecasts even fall below freezing at 850 mb, so winter is advancing as we head towards the end of December.
