Following a rainy weekend, northern Israel and the Golan Heights experienced impressive torrents in their streams and waterfalls on Sunday morning. Notable sights included the Banias and Sa'ar waterfalls, with the Banias Nature Reserve showcasing the confluence of the Gevata and Banias streams in their first flow of the season. The Israel Nature and Parks Authority documented the stunning natural displays.

Weather conditions are expected to stabilize gradually. Localized rain will continue in northern and central Israel on Sunday, with isolated thunderstorms possible until the afternoon. Light rain may also fall in the northern Negev, and a slight risk of localized flooding persists along the coastal plain in the morning. The rain is forecast to weaken and diminish throughout the day, though temperatures will remain below seasonal averages.

Monday is expected to be partly cloudy with no significant rainfall, and temperatures will continue to be cooler than usual. Strong northerly winds are predicted along the coast in the afternoon. By Tuesday, temperatures are anticipated to rise, with generally clear skies, though it will remain slightly cooler than average for the season. Wednesday may see increased cloud cover and the possibility of light, localized rain along the coastal plain.
