The low-pressure system will reach its peak in the coming hours and early Friday morning, focusing on the central region of the Kingdom and extending to Karak and Tafila.

Arab Weather App - Several areas in the center of the Kingdom, including the capital Amman, are witnessing rainfall of varying intensity as a prelude to a very slow-moving air front that will cross the center and south after midnight and into the dawn and morning of Friday. Praise be to God for the blessing of rain.

In detail, a highly effective and very slow-moving cold front will begin crossing the central regions of the Kingdom, including the capital Amman, Madaba, and the Jordan Valley, after midnight and into Friday morning. The impact of the low-pressure system will intensify, with rainfall becoming more widespread and heavy, especially during the late night and early morning hours of Friday, with chances of lightning, thunder, and hail, leading to:

• Extremely large flow of valleys and reefs
• Flash floods and torrential rains, including in the northern and central Jordan Valley.
• Large water accumulations on roads
• There may be soil and rock erosion.

The cold front will reach the south of the Kingdom during the early morning hours of Friday, accompanied by heavy rain.

During the early morning hours of Friday, the effects of the cold front will reach the south of the country, including the governorates of Karak, Tafila, the Southern Ghor and the Dead Sea, where heavy rains are expected, raising again the risk of flash floods and soil and rock erosion in the affected areas.

In contrast, rain continues to fall on some northern regions and will be heavier in the center of the Kingdom on Friday morning. Low clouds will pass through, touching the ground, causing dense fog to form over the high mountain peaks, leading to a decrease and perhaps even a complete lack of horizontal visibility on some roads.

During the rest of Friday, the low pressure system will move away from the Kingdom, while cold and humid air currents will continue, and temperatures will be 3-4 degrees Celsius below average, with generally cold weather prevailing, with clouds continuing to appear at different altitudes, and rain falling from time to time in parts of the north and center of the Kingdom and some southern highlands.

Key recommendations during the weather event:

• Wear warm clothes, especially during the night and early morning hours.
• Safe use of heating appliances.
• Drive carefully and leave a safe distance during rain and fog.
• Be aware of the risk of flash floods and overflowing valleys, especially in low-lying areas and places where flash floods usually form.
• Beware of landslides and rockfalls, especially in the southern highlands, slope areas, and valleys.
• Be aware of dense fog and reduced horizontal visibility on highways.

And God knows best.
