Iraq | Crossing a cold air front that causes a strong state of atmospheric instability that requires attention from the dangers of torrential rain

Arab Weather - weather maps in the Arab Regional Weather Center indicate that a cold air mass rushes towards the Levant region, leading to the formation of an air depression that will be centered on Wednesday to the west of Iraq and accompanied by a cold air front, and this weather situation coincides with a surface extension of the so-called Red Sea depression where it arises A strong state of atmospheric instability increases the chances of heavy thunderstorms and the chances of torrential rain.

In the details, Iraq gradually crosses on Wednesday a cold air front in conjunction with a surface extension of the so-called Red Sea depression, where a strong state of air instability arises, starting from the western regions, gradually extending during the daytime hours towards the rest of the regions, and intensifying with the afternoon and evening hours.

The winds will be brisk and accompanied by strong gusts that cause dust in some areas.

The completion of the crossing of the cold air front at night and the decline in the effect of atmospheric instability with the continuation of thunderstorms of rain in random areas

This completes the crossing of the cold air front with the hours of Wednesday / Thursday night, and the effects of the state of atmospheric instability gradually recede, with the continued appearance of clouds at different altitudes and thunderstorms of rain falling in random geographical ranges of Iraq concentrated in the southeastern and eastern parts, and it is not excluded that it will be Heavy rains sometimes in some narrow geographical areas.

The winds will be brisk and accompanied by strong gusts that cause dust in some areas.
