Jordan | Weather Alert: Increasing Impact of Low-Pressure System After Midnight Tonight and During Saturday and Sunday

WASM- The Kingdom will increasingly be affected by the atmospheric depression and cold, moist air mass starting from mid-tonight and during Saturday and Sunday, with renewed thunderstorms expected over northern and central parts of the Kingdom. These rains will be heavy at times and accompanied by thunder, hail, and strong winds.

In detail, Jordan was affected today, Friday, by a cold air front that resulted in a temperature drop and unstable weather conditions with thunderstorms that were heavy in the Dead Sea region and parts of northern and central areas, causing flash floods in several regions.

The atmospheric depression is expected to be positioned near the Lebanese coast tomorrow, Saturday, with thunderstorms continuing through tonight until Saturday evening, when rainfall will temporarily decrease during Saturday/Sunday night before resuming during Sunday daytime over various areas with heavy intensity.

The atmospheric depression is expected to continue affecting the Kingdom until Sunday evening, with its effects gradually receding during Monday dawn and weather conditions gradually stabilizing during Monday daytime.

WASM Regional Center advises following warnings from the Jordanian Meteorology Department and staying away from low-lying areas and valleys, and also recommends following the guidance of the General Security and Civil Defense.

Temperatures will rise on Tuesday and weather will stabilize. Another weather system of lesser intensity is being monitored for a short period during the end of next week. It is natural that weather systems increase in frequency and intensity as we approach winter, with improved rainy periods expected during the coming month, which is typical during the rainy season in Jordan.
