The latest satellite images indicate that these clouds will move eastward towards the Qassim region and the northern parts of the Riyadh region, during the next few hours, accompanied by strong downward winds and sandstorms that cause a lack of horizontal visibility, followed by heavy rain and possibly hail.

The Arab weather recommends the residents of Al-Jawf and the northern borders with the following:

• Be aware of the intensity of the downward air currents associated with thunderstorms
• Heavy and intense rain, and the danger of wadis and torrential flows in low-lying areas
• Sand storms and dense dust waves that may be formed by downward winds associated with thunderstorms in the surrounding areas
