A very cold air mass of polar origins, unusual for its arrival in the eastern Mediterranean region at this time of year, casts its shadow over the Levant this weekend

Arab weather - the latest weather maps received from global centers indicate that a very cold and polar air mass is expected to rush towards the eastern region of the Mediterranean, causing the formation of an air depression that has not yet been classified according to the hour of writing this report ( according to the indicator measuring the severity of air depressions ) this air depression It affects the Levant from Wednesday, God willing. However, prior to this depression, it is expected that the Levant will be affected on Monday by unstable weather conditions that coincide with the flow of very cold northeastern winds of polar origins.

A state of atmospheric instability collides with very cold northeastern winds and chances of snowfall

The output of the computer processing indicates a possible collision between the flow of very cold winds and a rushing polar origin with the Siberian air rise from the north and northeast with the expansion of unstable weather conditions coming from the west and southwest, this confluence between the two air systems leads in some cases to snowfall in areas It is unusual for snow to fall. Where the computer processing outputs, through numerical modeling of the movements of air masses, indicate that the potential collision areas will be large parts of southern Syria, including the capital, Damascus, in addition to the Badia of Syria and Jordan.

These conditions come scientifically as a result of the occurrence of evaporative cooling resulting from the dry and cold eastern winds, which is the cooling of the atmosphere in those layers close to the surface of the earth due to the process of evaporation and absorption of latent heat, thus the level of snow falls to areas that are unusual for snowfall at times, It should also be noted the importance of following up on the places where a collision may occur, because of the possibility of changing them, so that computer modeling finds it very difficult to sense the places of collision.

An air depression accompanied by a very cold air mass affects the Levant, starting from Wednesday

It is expected that this depression and the very cold and polar air masses associated with it will cause a significant drop in temperatures on Wednesday/Thursday night so that the temperatures are very low and close to zero Celsius in many mountainous heights and even touch zero Celsius in the high mountainous heights. The weather will be very cold with rain, God willing, in Lebanon, western Syria, northern and central Palestine and Jordan. The rain will be heavy at times and be accompanied by heavy hail showers.

According to the latest indicators received by the weather forecast team in the "Arab Weather", it is expected that snow will fall, God willing, over the high mountainous heights in Palestine and the highlands of northern and central Jordan, whose height is more than 1000 meters in the late hours of the night of Wednesday / Thursday, while it is below that height. Slightly in the highlands of Syria and Lebanon.

The effect of this depression will continue on Thursday 24/3-2022, so that the weather will be generally cold in most areas, very cold in the high mountainous heights, and cloudy and rainy, God willing, in northern and central Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, and the rain will be heavy at intervals and accompanied by showers. From cold sometimes. It is expected that the depression will bring large amounts of rain, which will contribute to raising the rain stock to the Kingdom and contribute to the agricultural sector and improve soil moisture, God willing.
