Weather It Is (The Storm Synopsis)

Good Morning:

There will be periods of snow in the higher elevations of Jerusalem and Gush Etzion this morning, but they will mix with rain from time to time.  Most of the precipitation will be in the center of the country.  There may be a light accumulation where temperatures remain near freezing.

The snow will mix with rain and change to light rain later this morning.  In other areas of Jerusalem, there will be just plain rain.

The next weather story is the extreme cold, which should begin to arrive after midnight and will probably bring a light covering of snow to the center mountains, including Jerusalem.  It will also freeze the water on the roads. The extreme cold will, of course, extend to the higher elevations of the north where snow fall was much more extensive.

Another storm will approach late Saturday. It will bring a lot of precipitation that may start as snow, or be a mixture of rain and snow.  It is more likely to be more rain than snow.

There is the possibility of another storm mid-week.  There is a small chance of snow with this system as well.
