Latest developments in the low pressure system and chances of snow tonight and the coming days

Arab Weather - The latest satellite images from the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate that the Maghreb, specifically northern Algeria and northern Tunisia, are affected by an extension of a stormy low pressure system centered over the Sea of Sicily between Italy and northern Tunisia, accompanied by the rush of cold polar winds. Rain clouds are crossing northern Algeria and northern Tunisia, accompanied by the flow of cold winds, with continued heavy rain and snowfall over the high mountainous elevations.

Showers of rain in northern Algeria and northern Tunisia, and snowfall in the highlands

As a result, cloud cover at different heights tonight and Sunday, with partly cloudy to cloudy weather prevailing in northern and central Algeria and northern Tunisia. Rain falls intermittently, sometimes in the form of freezing rain. Rain is also expected to be very heavy, especially in coastal areas, and snow will fall on the mountainous heights in those areas. The snow will be intermittent, but it will increase the thickness of the snow that has fallen recently.

Cold weather and strong winds at sea, with recommendations to avoid approaching the coasts

The weather is generally very cold, and very cold over the high mountains. The deepening of the low pressure system in southern Europe is causing strong winds with gusts of up to 80 km/h, causing new disturbances in the waves, with waves reaching up to 4 meters high in the western part of the Mediterranean, including the Algerian coast.

Chances of rain continue in Algeria and Tunisia on Sunday, and rain will move to Libya in the middle of the week

God willing, the low pressure system is expected to retreat from northern Algeria and northern Morocco on Sunday, but with less intensity, as scattered showers of rain fall during the day in many areas. The weather will stabilize at night, and temperatures will drop below zero degrees Celsius. Frost will occur and ice will form in large areas of northern Algeria and northern Tunisia, including wet roads and areas where water collects.

The impact of the low pressure system is expected to gradually extend towards northern Libya during the hours of Monday/Tuesday night, and on Tuesday it will be accompanied by active winds and an increase in cloud cover, as showers of rain fall on many areas, including the capital, Tripoli.

And God knows best.
