Weather It Is (There Was a Change, But)

Good Afternoon:

Certainly the weather pattern is changing, as the deep blocking low in the eastern Atlantic (off the coast of England) has spun apart.  Vortices of cold air are now moving across Europe and one of them will impact our weather this Friday night into Shabbat afternoon.

Unfortunately, this weather system will remain a bit disorganised, and the rain pattern looks both like something of late fall (most of the rain from Jerusalem northward), while a piece of atmospheric energy will also impact the Arava south later on Shabbat.  Still a third may bring light rain on Sunday.

Looking further ahead, the weather should warm up a bit after the passage of this storm, and it may be followed early the following week by another storm.  We see a small chance that this storm will phase with the northern storm track, which could bring a more significant rain (or snow) to end February.  However, the chance is small, and we don't see any consensus at this time.

It is strange to live in a place where the weather is always so nice!

Shabbat Shalom,
