The relatively cold and moist air mass will continue to affect Jordan on Saturday, bringing a significant drop in temperatures, according to the Jordan Meteorological Department.
The weather will be partly cloudy to cloudy, with intermittent rainfall expected across the northern and central regions, as well as parts of the eastern and southwestern areas.
Rainfall is expected to be heavy for short periods in some areas, accompanied by thunderstorms and occasional hail. This could lead to flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas, particularly in northern and central Jordan.
Winds will be moderate to active westerlies, stirring up dust, especially in desert areas.
In its report, the Meteorological Department warned of flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas, particularly in the north and center of the Kingdom, as well as thunderstorms.
It also cautioned about reduced horizontal visibility due to windblown dust, especially in desert areas, and morning fog over mountainous areas and parts of the plains and desert regions. Drivers were also warned of slippery roads where rainfall occurs.
Maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to range as follows:
* Eastern Amman: 18°C and 10°C
* Western Amman: 16°C and 9°C
* Northern highlands: 14°C and 8°C
