Jordan.. Low pressure system with scattered rainfall and cold weather on Sunday

WASM – Jordan is expected to be affected by a low-pressure system on Sunday, resulting in scattered rainfall, active winds, and a significant drop in temperatures.

The Kingdom will be affected during Saturday evening hours by the formation of scattered thunderclouds across various regions, leading to thunderstorm showers that may be accompanied by hail showers in some areas. Thundercloud chances will continue until Sunday afternoon, then transitioning to rainfall and cold conditions with a drop in temperatures.

Weather is expected to gradually stabilize starting Monday with chances of light rainfall, especially in morning hours, and conditions will remain cold and partly cloudy in general. WASM will issue a yellow alert level starting Saturday evening until Monday dawn hours due to weather conditions.

WASM is also monitoring a renewal of rainy weather conditions during the last 10 days of November, which is expected to be accompanied by colder atmospheres and heavier rainfall.

In scientific detail, cold air in the upper atmospheric layers is being pushed into the Kingdom during Saturday evening hours, coinciding with a sharp extension of the Red Sea low, as well as the initial formation of a low-pressure system over southern Cyprus. This leads to unstable conditions called (baroclinic atmospheric instability), which is the phase preceding the formation of a low-pressure system and usually results in scattered thundercloud formation and rainfall showers. With the formation of the low-pressure system south of Cyprus on Sunday, the cold air front is pushed in Sunday afternoon and more regular thunderstorm rainfall occurs, followed by the surge of a cold and highly humid air mass that lies behind the low-pressure system Sunday evening, which leads to regular and sometimes heavy rainfall.
