Despite the polar mass that will rush towards the Kingdom, and despite the extreme coldness in the air, the Kingdom is not expected to be affected by a snowstorm. What is the scientific reason for that? !!!

One of the most frequently asked questions is why the country is not expected to be affected by a snowstorm, even though the air mass coming to the region is directly driven from the North Pole.!

The scientific reason for this ....

The readings and analyzes of numerical forecast models indicate that the path that the air mass will follow is a continental path and this means that its transitional movement was mostly over land as it moved and pushed from the North Pole towards Turkey and will move towards the Badia Al-Sham and be positioned over the Iraqi territories during Sunday and Monday, and thus its transitional movement will be most On land, which prevents sufficient moisture in them until any large and general snowfalls occur and form what is known as a snowstorm, even though the coldest layers are sufficient for snowfall in large areas, and if its path was over the sea we would witness a strong snowstorm.

Despite the expected path of the polar mass, it is not immune to the occurrence of some precipitation, as the geographical area of the mass is huge and vast, and it is expected that the edges of the mass will come into contact with the sea, which will gain it a slight bit of moisture, as there is moisture in the surface layers of the atmosphere resulting from the remnants of the last low air. What random precipitation showers of snow and freezing rain random on Sunday and Monday may be accumulated in the event of precipitation, especially over the southern highlands and the eastern region of the Kingdom.

The air mass is also characterized by a wide and large scale formation of ice and frost, and we can describe this as not familiar with the airspace of the kingdom and the region where the minimum temperature is expected to exceed during the Monday / Tuesday night a -8 ..- 10 degrees below zero in the eastern desert of the kingdom and -5 degrees in many From the regions, the heat is approaching the zero percentage point in the Jordan Valley, which puts all regions of the Kingdom at risk of the next wave. God willing.

God knows
