Weather It Is (Winter Weather Warning)

Good Afternoon:

The latest forecasts are in, and they indicate that snow should fall in the northern mountains of the Golan, but not in the central mountains.

The temperatures at 500 mb (and 700 mb), though, are cold enough to bring potential thunderstorms and hail, which could make for slippery driving conditions.   However, surface temperatures should be above freezing, so the ice should melt off given enough time.

Winds should also be gale force, so caution should be taken.

The rain should arrive this evening and then should taper to showers later on Friday.

A longer lasting and very high precipitation producing storm should arrive next week, most likely beginning on Tuesday.  The rain may actually continue into early next week.
