According to the Jordan Meteorological Department, colder weather is expected on Wednesday, with skies ranging from partly cloudy to cloudy.
By midday, the country will begin to feel the impact of an extending low-pressure system, bringing scattered showers to the north and center and to parts of the southwest and east.

Some of the rainfall may become heavy, with the possibility of thunder and hail, leading to flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas, including the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea. Winds will continue moderate from the southwest, becoming active at intervals and stirring dust.
The country will remain under the influence of the system on Friday, with cold, cloudy, and rainy conditions persisting across northern, central, and eastern regions.
