Israel is preparing for a series of severe weather conditions anticipated to impact the region, starting Wednesday. Temperatures are expected to dip below seasonal norms, with local showers and thunderstorms predicted across the northern and central regions. Snow is forecasted for Mount Hermon, and there's a heightened risk of flash floods in southern desert waterways, including the Negev, Arava, Judean Desert, and Dead Sea area. Rainfall is expected to intensify from midday, potentially accompanied by hail. These stormy conditions are expected to persist into Thursday, bringing widespread rain, thunderstorms, and hail to most areas, with continued snowfall on Mount Hermon. Urban flooding is a significant concern, particularly along the coastal plain and central hills.
