Israel is set to experience a significant shift in weather as a winter storm is forecast to bring intermittent rain and a sharp drop in temperatures across the country starting this weekend. The northern and central regions will see the most substantial rainfall, with potential for heavy downpours, particularly along the central and southern coastal plains, raising concerns of flooding. Temperatures are expected to decrease considerably throughout the weekend, with Saturday seeing even cooler weather, stronger winds, and rain extending southward to the northern Negev, Judean Desert, and northern Dead Sea. Flash flood warnings are in effect for these southern areas, and residents are advised against traveling in the Judean Desert on Saturday due to the risk of flash floods, even from small amounts of precipitation. By Sunday, the storm system will weaken, leaving only scattered local showers in the north and center as residual effects. This dramatic weather change follows a recent heatwave, highlighting the typical rapid and extreme fluctuations characteristic of Israel's transitional seasons. The article also notes a separate incident where roads to and from Eilat were blocked by flash floods, with fears of a missing person in the Arava region.
