Weather It Is (Rain with Some Ice)

 Good morning:

Over the last few days, the forecasts have trended colder as a trough of low pressure develops over the eastern Mediterranean.  This trough will bring moderate to heavy rain this Friday morning to coastal areas and the mountains of the Galilee and of Jerusalem.

As typical for our area, we are right on the edge relative to liquid or frozen precipitation, but temperatures will be too warm in the middle atmosphere for snow.  However, cold temperatures at the surface and cold temperature aloft will probably support ice pellets from time to time.  This can make for slippery driving conditions in the higher mountainous areas. Cold temperatures and showers will persist into Shabbat.

Rain returns mid next week.

Shabbat Shalom,
