Weather It Is (A Roar, But Less Bite)

Good morning:

A storm is approaching.  It will bring cold temperatures and wind.

However, the storm is "moisture-starved," and temperatures at 500 mb are not particularly cold so this makes thunderstorms less of a possibility.

Here's what we expect.

Temperatures will be cooling off through Friday morning.   There will be a chance of showers in the area of Haifa late tonight and tomorrow morning, as well as in the Carmel.

Wednesday evening will be chilly and there will be light showers in the Arava at night and heavier showers in the morning along the coast.  Winds should become strong (with higher gusts) Thursday morning/afternoon.  Showers should occur in the central mountains mid-to-late afternoon,

The cold will intensity Thursday night, but no significant rain is expect.  Friday will be chilly, and then we will start a warming trend to spring.  Perhaps, this will be the last we see of winter until the next.

To our heroes and families onYom Zikoron and Happy Independence Day,
