Arab Weather – The latest satellite images received at the Arab Weather Regional Center show a low-pressure system centered to the east of Syrian territory, specifically towards northeastern Syria.

This low-pressure system is accompanied by a notably active cold front, which is currently crossing western Iraq and parts of its northwest, where a colder air mass is pushing ahead of it, causing widespread waves of dust, reaching the point of forming a sandstorm in some exposed areas, which has led to a clear decrease in horizontal visibility. The impact of this low-pressure system is expected to continue during the coming hours, as the cold front continues to cross eastward.

The structural shape of this low-pressure system is striking in satellite imagery , showing clouds clearly coiled around its center, a scene reflecting the powerful rotational movement of winds in the atmospheric layers around the low's center, giving it a distinctive visual character on satellite maps.
