Weather It Is (A Rainy Independence Day?)

Good Evening:

People are asking me, what is the weather going to be on Israeli Independence day.  Well, I wasn't very forthcoming because at this time of year one doesn't think about rain, so I just referred them to our web site.

One might think that it always gets warm before Israeli Independence day, and then gets cool just in time for the ceremonies.  I did mention this, but it turns out that this year should be different.

It won't really get warm before the big day, but it should be sunny and pleasant for those who must  honor  those who gave their lives so others could live in a relative peace and prosperity.  However, winds should pick up ahead of a strong storm dropping out of the north and west as the day progresses.  Then, rain should move in at night - most likely after the fireworks.

This storm is more of a wintertime storm than a spring tropical storm, and it may bring a welcome rain. Of course, the rain may not feel welcome on Israeli Independence day, but the weather doesn't usually pay attention to our personal plans.

Looking far ahead into next week, this rainy system should be followed by a period of warm days and cool nights.
