Arab Weather - The latest satellite images show the rapid development of thunderstorms east of Wadi Ad-Dawasir, a phenomenon the region has not seen in several months.

These clouds are expected to be accompanied by downward winds, causing dust storms that could directly impact Wadi ad-Dawasir, along with rain showers and hail. Forecasts also indicate that the cumulonimbus clouds will expand over the coming hours to include larger areas of the southern Riyadh region and Najran. God knows best.
