Arab Weather - The low-pressure system will be centered west of Cyprus in the coming hours, and according to the latest satellite images at the Arab Weather Center, the low-pressure system is accompanied by a highly effective cold front, which is expected to cross, God willing, various regions of the Kingdom later on Friday.

Based on satellite images, it is observed that this weather front is highly effective and is accompanied by large amounts of rain clouds.

Computer simulation of the movement of the low-pressure system and its accompanying cold front

In detail: According to computer simulations conducted by Arab Weather, the Kingdom is expected to begin being affected by this low-pressure system starting in the early morning hours of Friday, coinciding with its centering north of Cyprus. A highly active cold front will cross the region, causing a sharp drop in temperatures and cold, rainy weather across large parts of the Kingdom, including the northern and central regions, including the capital Amman, as well as the southern highlands, including Karak and Tafilah, extending to the eastern regions, though with less intensity.

 

Heavy rain is expected in many areas, and may be accompanied by thunderstorms and hail showers, which may lead to flash floods, water accumulation, and rising water levels in a number of roads and low-lying areas.

Important recommendations include the need to avoid approaching valleys and flood channels.

Accordingly, Arab Weather urges citizens to stay away from flood channels and valley bottoms, and to avoid crossing them under any circumstances. Heavy rains and thunderstorms are expected to affect the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea region, so it is advised to avoid going to these areas and to postpone trips abroad on Friday, coinciding with the impact of the low-pressure system and the increased chances of flash floods and valley flows.

And God knows best.
