Hail and Qassim | After a period of stability... rain chances return as of Friday afternoon

Arabia Weather - Sinan Khalaf - The weather forecast staff at the Arab Regional Weather Center is monitoring the possibility that both Hail and Qassim will be affected on Friday by a state of atmospheric instability, bringing a round of moderate to heavy thunderstorms.

Rain chances begin to increase in the Hail region starting at noon

The latest forecasts indicate that weather fluctuations will begin in the Hail region starting at noon, as a belt of rain clouds is expected to move from the north towards the Hail region, accompanied by showers of rain, which are not unlikely to be locally heavy at times.

More intense rains are expected in Qassim

These clouds, starting from the night hours, are expected to move towards the south with an increase in intensity to affect the Qassim region around midnight, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and occasional heavy rain showers, accompanied by active surface winds.

Scientific reasons for the weather turbulence expected to affect the Kingdom

This state of air turbulence comes as a result of the extension of a cold air depression towards the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea and the Levant region, coinciding with the activity of the Red Sea depression and the rush of a warm air mass coming from the south, which creates air disturbances and creates a state of air instability that is subsequently formed. Strong clouds accompanied by thunderstorms.
