Levant: The depression deepens on Wednesday/Thursday night, and very cold winds flow towards the region

Arab Weather - The latest images from remote sensing systems are being monitored. The low pressure system is currently centered to the northwest of the Syrian territories and is pushing more rain clouds to various regions of the Levant. God willing, rain will fall at intervals. Sometimes this rain will be heavy and accompanied by lightning and thunder in some areas, and perhaps heavy hail showers, God willing. Meanwhile, the areas that do not witness rainfall in the eastern Levant will be under the influence of strong winds and dense dust waves that may reach the level of a sandstorm.

The depression deepens on Wednesday/Thursday night, and very cold winds flow towards the region

During the hours of Thursday/Friday night and Thursday morning, the low pressure system deepens over the Levant as a result of the flow of polar winds of very cold origin towards the center of the low pressure system. Therefore, the weather activity intensifies and very cold and stormy weather prevails as a result of the significant increase in wind speed. Heavy rain falls on various regions of the Levant, sometimes accompanied by thunder and hail showers, while the rain is very heavy in the coastal areas of Syria and Lebanon. The winds are very fast, as some gusts reach more than 100 km/hour.

The snow line (the level separating snowfall from rain) in northern Syria is expected to drop to below 600 metres above sea level during the peak period, while the level of snowfall increases towards southern Syria and Lebanon.

As for Jordan, snow is expected, God willing, on the peaks of the Karak and Tafilah mountains, which include the Qadisiyah and Rashadiyah heights and the surrounding areas, with occasional accumulations in those areas. Later, some snowfall will extend to the high peaks of the Shara Mountains in the south in Ma'an Governorate. As for the high mountain peaks in the north and center of the Kingdom, the opportunity will be available in the morning hours for snow showers to fall on the high peaks of the Jerash and Ajloun mountains, while it will often be mixed with rain on the peaks of the Balqa and capital mountains.

The depression is moving away from the area on Thursday night.

During the hours of Thursday/Friday night, the low pressure system will move away from the region on Thursday night, but the region will remain under the influence of the very cold air mass rushing behind it. There will be a noticeable drop in night temperatures, and the weather will be very cold in most areas, and very cold over the high mountainous elevations.

In the early night hours, the opportunity remains available for some local showers of rain, God willing, in some areas of the Levant, in the form of snowfall over the high mountainous elevations, especially in Syria and Lebanon, and the wind speed decreases noticeably and becomes northwesterly, moderate in speed, sometimes active.

And God knows best.
