Israel is bracing for a significant shift in weather as rain and storms are forecast to arrive ahead of the weekend. On Thursday, the day will be partly cloudy with temperatures dropping below seasonal averages. Localized, mostly light rain is expected in the north and along the coastal plain until the afternoon. Winds will strengthen throughout the day, and dust is possible, particularly in the south and center.
Overnight Thursday into Friday, conditions will remain partly to fully cloudy. Localized rain will begin in the north and along the coast in the early morning hours. Friday is expected to be partly to fully cloudy with local rain in the north and center, and isolated thunderstorms are possible. Temperatures will dip further, remaining below average across most regions.
Saturday will continue to be partly to fully cloudy, with localized rain expected to gradually weaken throughout the day, mainly in the north and along the coast. Temperatures will stay below seasonal norms, especially in the mountains and inland areas.
The forecast comes after a building collapse in Tel Aviv, though the article does not directly link the weather to this event, instead mentioning "serious findings discovered" following the collapse.
