Weather It Is (Winter Begins Again)

Good Evening:

The winds are about to change direction and so will our temperatures. Instead of a mild day tomorrow, temperatures will be trending downwards, and rain should arrive along the coast by Tuesday evening.

The storm should be moving southeastward past Cyprus and is forecast to bring periods of rain from Tuesday night into Friday morning to much of the country.  This won't be a very heavy rain, but it should produce 10s of millimeters of rain in many areas.  There should also be strong breezes on Wednesday with higher gusts.

The storm's path will bring the coldest air to northern areas, with temperatures near zero at 850 mb forecast to just skirt to the north of Jerusalem, along with temperatures near -10 C.  This means that there will be chance of wet snow (not-accumulating) over the northern mountains, with accumulating snow likely on the Hermon.

Because the storm should be fairly cold aloft, there is also the chance of thunderstorms.

Temperatures should start to warm up on Shabbat and milder temperatures with a slight chance of showers are expected for the start of Chanukah.

Chanukah Samaech!
