Amman, Nov. 6 (Petra)-- A relatively cold and moist air mass associated with an extension of a low-pressure system is expected to affect the Kingdom on Friday, bringing a slight drop in temperatures and partly cloudy to occasionally cloudy conditions.
Rain showers are forecast at intervals in the northern parts of the Kingdom, gradually extending to central areas and limited parts of the eastern and southwestern regions. Rainfall may be heavy for short periods in northern and central areas, accompanied by thunderstorms and occasional hail. Winds will be moderate westerlies, occasionally picking up.
In its report, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) warned of possible flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas in parts of the north, central regions and southwestern areas. It also cautioned against thunderstorms, reduced horizontal visibility due to morning fog over high mountainous areas, dust raised by active winds in Badia regions, and slippery roads in areas experiencing rainfall.
On Saturday, the Kingdom will remain under the influence of the relatively cold and moist air mass, with temperatures dropping further and noticeably. The weather will be partly cloudy to cloudy, with intermittent rainfall expected in northern and central regions and limited parts of the eastern and southwestern areas. Rain may be heavy for short periods in some areas, accompanied by thunderstorms and occasional hail.
