Weather It Is (A Stampede)

Good Morning:

The pleasant pitter-patter of rain drops of the past few days has become a stampede.

Moisture streaming around low pressure over Cyprus will continue to develop heavy rain in a corridor from Ashquelon to Jerusalem and Gush Etzion. Forecast rain amounts are > 100 mm within this corridor stretching eastward through Jerusalem and Gush Etzion. There will be greater than 50 mm in an area extending into southern Tel Aviv and to its east.

The strongest wind speeds will occur within the next few hours within the heavy rain corridor.  Gusts of > 50 km/h are likely.

Periods of rain should continue tomorrow, but in lighter amounts.
