Jordan: Low pressure system with heavy rainfall and strong winds beginning Wednesday evening

WASM – Jordan is being affected by a low-pressure system accompanied by a high-intensity cold front resulting in heavy rainfall and active winds beginning Wednesday evening and throughout Wednesday/Thursday night until Thursday morning. The impact of the low-pressure system will gradually diminish during Thursday daytime and evening, coinciding with cold weather and a significant drop in temperatures.

In detail, Jordan tomorrow will experience scattered and intermittent rain showers in some areas, coinciding with the beginning of wind activity during the day. The high-intensity cold front begins to affect the region during the evening and night starting from northern Jordan, extending toward the center of the country during the night and covering the capital Amman and Zarqa, then moving toward Karak during Thursday dawn, reaching the Shaubak and Tafila mountains during Thursday morning.

Rainfall will be heavy coinciding with active winds and dust stirring in desert areas and reduced horizontal visibility. Flash floods and transported flash floods are expected to form, particularly in low-lying areas, valleys, and water accumulation sites during Wednesday/Thursday night due to heavy rainfall, especially in northern and central Jordan. WASM Regional Center has issued an orange alert level.

Weather will stabilize on Friday but will remain cold and partly cloudy with limited rain showers during the day, with humidity levels remaining high.

WASM Regional Center is monitoring the renewal of rainfall at the beginning of next week in some areas due to the renewal of unstable weather conditions coinciding with the return of active winds.

The low-pressure system is expected to be accompanied by cold conditions requiring winter clothing and an umbrella. It is also recommended to stay completely away from low-lying areas and water accumulation sites.
