Polar blocks dominate Lebanon… What will the weekend weather be like?

The Department of Meteorology at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation expected that the weather for tomorrow will be partly cloudy to cloudy with local fog on the heights and low morning temperatures, which will rise slightly but remain below their seasonal rates.
It is possible that light local rain will fall at night in the northern regions, and light snow on the northeastern elevations. Snow will also form on the internal and mountain roads that exceed 900 meters, so we always warn of the risk of slips.

The following bulletin was stated:

– The general situation: Lebanon and the eastern basin of the Mediterranean are still under the influence of the cold polar masses, with some local fluctuations, especially in the north of the country on Friday and Saturday nights.

(Warning of the interruption of mountain and internal roads due to the formation of snow in the morning and evening and the risk of slips)

– The expected weather in Lebanon:

Friday: Partly cloudy to cloudy with local fog at the heights, low morning temperatures, and low humidity, which rises slightly during the day and remains below average (4 degrees). Light snow is expected on the northeastern highlands during the night, and we warn of the danger of snow formation on the internal and mountain roads that exceed 900 meters during the night and in the early morning hours.

Saturday: Partly cloudy to cloudy with local fog at heights and low morning temperatures, which rise slightly and remain below seasonal rates. It is possible for light local rains to fall at night in the northern regions, and light snow on the northeastern elevations. Snow is also formed on the internal and mountain roads that are more than 900 meters, so we always warn of the risk of slips.

Sunday: Partly cloudy, a slight drop in temperature, and a low humidity as a result of the domination of the dry northern winds. The warning remains of the risk of snow formation on internal and mountain roads that are more than 900 meters high.

Monday: Clear with a slight rise in temperatures, which remain below their seasonal rates, and cold morning temperatures, with which snow forms on the internal and mountain roads that exceed 900 meters during the night and in the early morning hours, and the relative humidity remains low as a result of the dominance of the dry northeastern winds.

Temperature on the coast from 10 to 16 degrees, above the mountains from 4 to 10 degrees, indoors from zero to 8 degrees.

Surface winds: north to northeast, with speeds between 8 and 25 km/hr.

– Sweeping: Good on the coast, worse at night on the mountains due to fog.

– Relative humidity on the coast: between 40 and 60%.

– Sea condition: average wave height, water surface temperature: 17 degrees.

Atmospheric pressure: 769 mm Hg
