Arab Weather - Computer simulations at the Arab Weather Center, along with satellite images, indicate that a deep low-pressure system is approaching the eastern Mediterranean basin. This low-pressure system is currently observed centered in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, and it is expected to continue moving eastward over the next 24 hours to be centered over the island of Cyprus by Saturday. This low-pressure system is part of a series of rain events.

Direct effects of the deep low-pressure system on Syria and Lebanon, with massive amounts of rain expected.

This low pressure system is expected to directly affect Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine, especially the northwestern regions, bringing heavy to very heavy rain on Saturday and Sunday, accompanied by strong winds and cold weather in those areas, leading to a significant increase in the risk of flash floods, overflowing valleys, and a significant rise in Mediterranean Sea waves.

The effects of the low-pressure system on Jordan will be in the form of a second-degree low-pressure system.

The Kingdom is affected by the second low-pressure system, Ghaith, but it is concentrated more on the southern regions. It is a second-degree storm on Saturday, especially in the evening and night hours. On Saturday, the weather will be cold and partly cloudy, with rainfall, especially in the south of the Kingdom. The chances of rain will extend during the afternoon hours to various regions, and it may be accompanied by thunder and hail showers at times.

During the night hours of Saturday, the weather will be cold and rainy in many areas, with heavy rainfall at times, especially in the southern regions, increasing the likelihood of flash floods and overflowing valleys and streams.

And God knows best.
