Weather It Is (A Smart Looking Low)

Good Evening:

Tonight and tomorrow low pressure will form over western Jordan, and move westwards to a position just off the Gaza coast by mid-afternoon.

The low is forecast to bring a chance of showers, especially in the Jordan Valley.  Some of these showers could produce some quick stream flow.

The unsettled weather should continue into late this week, before cooling off a bit towards Shabbat.

Weather It Is (Small Changes A Foot)

Good Afternoon:

Where we live, on the hills of Jerusalem or the sands of Tel-Aviv, the weather is and will be pretty much what you see.  It's neither too cold or too warm, which is nice.

Yet, changes are a foot in middle atmosphere, which shows some wave-like patterns in the temperature fields.  These wave-like patterns indicate weak storm systems forming and passing through our area, and some of these may lead to some light rain across the country as we move into mid-next week.

Yet, there are no strong storm systems in the offing, but rather just some (mostly) pleasant fall weather.

Shabbat Shalom,

Weather It Is (A Quick Blast)

Good Evening:

Winter will make an appearance tomorrow, and our balmy weather will step aside as some rain and cold winds arrive from the west.

There will likely be some heavy showers, and a chance of showers will persist on Shabbat.

After the storm passes, the temperatures should moderate back up to more comfortable levels, as we await our next cold weather (rainy) system.

Weather It Is (Is that Hot?)

Good evening:

Tonight will be the coolest weather of the year, falling to below 50 F  in the center of the country (about 10 C). Yet the winds will be swinging around to the southeast as low pressure builds in from the same direction as we move along this week.

It's interesting because this is a classic set up for scorching hot weather, yet the weather will merely warm up to pleasant levels. This means that it really isn't to hot over the deserts that often feed us uncomfortably hot weather in spring, and just did a few weeks ago.

As for rain, none is expected for the next 10 days.

Weather It Is (Headed Down... But)

Good Afternoon:

We're on the cusp of fall.  A strong, but mostly dry front will barrel into our area during the next few days.  Shabbat will have a definite nip in the air.

Yet, easy come, easy go, and after some chilling fall weather we should head right back up to "spring" (pretty much like it is today) by mid-next week.

So, if you feel confused -- don't know what to wear -- my apologies for the up and downs.
