ArabiaWeather - The impact of the third-degree depression, extremely cold air mass, and the polarity of origin associated with it is deepening on Wednesday, and new details have now been released about the areas covered by the snowfall forecast
There is a significant drop in temperatures and they become less than their usual rates for this time of year by about 6-8 degrees Celsius.
The weather is cold in most regions and very cold over the high mountainous heights, and often cloudy with rain, God willing, at intervals in the various regions of the Kingdom accompanied by the occurrence of thunder and showers of hail, as well as snow mixed with rain falling over the mountain heights.
Snow is expected to fall and accumulate on the high mountain heights of more than 1200 meters above sea level, including the Suf and Ras Munif heights in the northern regions, the southern heights of Mu'ta, Rashadiyah, Qadisiyah, the Shobak heights, Al-Hisha, Wadi Musa, Mubarak, and Ras Al-Naqb. It is not excluded that the snowfall will be intense at intervals over the high Tafilah mountains (the Rashadiya and Qadisiyah heights).
It is also possible to extend some snow showers for some periods below that altitude, with limited accumulations if they occur, and this includes some mountain heights in the capital and Balqa, and the winds are westerly active with speed, with strong gusts in the east of the Kingdom.
The air depression is moving rapidly towards the east, so that the air efficiency will gradually weaken, while it is expected that the polar winds will continue to flow towards the Kingdom, causing the Kingdom to be affected by a wave of ice and a temperature drop to zero degrees.
A sharp drop in temperatures is occurring, and the weather turns to become extremely cold in many regions, with the opportunity remaining ready for showers of snow over the high mountain heights, especially the south, in the early hours of the night.
And later during the night, and gradually, a large-scale snow wave is expected in large parts of the Kingdom, and the winds will subside during the night.
