Weather It Is (Evening Update)

Good Evening:

Winter Storm Warning.

Periods of snow occurred today with a light accumulation in the Jerusalem/Gush Etzion area.

Radar shows a build up of precipitation west of the Jerusalem Gush Etzion north to south corridor, so snow should be beginning soon.

Cold is forecast through Friday morning, with extremely low temperatures.

Forecast snow amounts are now about 10 centimeters in Gush Etzion, with about 5 centimeters in higher  locations of Jerusalem.

However, this is an intense and focused storm with the potential to produce localised higher amounts, but also lower amounts in forecast areas.

Some of the global forecast models show precipitation occurring into Wednesday.  Once it gets cold (and it's getting cold right now), the snow will stick and cause very icy conditions.
