Weather It Is (Heavy Rain/Dangerous Conditions)

Good Morning:

The latest forecasts from 18 GMT show that the highest probability of heavy rain should be from Jerusalem south through Hebron.  The timing for this is mid-afternoon.  The amount of rain forecast presents a potentially dangerous situation for anyone hiking in the Dead Sea Basin, as well as for roads that interest river run-off locations.  Also heavy rain can lead to ponding of water on roads, and the potential for cars hydroplaning -- leading possibly to mortal accidents.

Rain is also expected in Tel-Aviv with heavier showers east of the city.  The 1.3 km forecast, for instance, still shows 25 to 50 mm, but the 4 km ensemble shows less than 25 mm in 3 hours.

I will update around noon, if necessary.

Dust concentrations will lower from mid-day onwards.
