 Hey what's up guys welcome back to my Facebook page this is Daniel Rosal here very very exciting day for snow enthusiasts and weather enthusiasts here in Jerusalem because according to the latest forecast there is going to be snow in just a few hours. I'm pulling up on the screen here the latest Facebook status from the Jerusalem weather forecast Facebook page which I highly recommend anybody living in Jerusalem who's also a weather or snow boffin should sign up for really really good page. The guy doesn't identify himself except by his initials but he says that he's an avid meteorology enthusiast avid meteorologist and weather enthusiast which is super cool because I used to be one of those too. So his latest status says that it's an exciting day for snow lovers across Jerusalem we're just hours away from substantial and memorable snow the winds are picking up which I can confirm is currently happening the storm is coming what's to follow in this post is just a forecast of what I expect to happen in the next 24 36 hours and then a brief discussion of my latest thoughts let's get to it snow emoji snow emoji snow emoji Wednesday morning until 3 p.m so this is correct I'm just recording this little video here on Wednesday afternoon so it's mostly clear skies so that's what's going on currently the weather is kind of changing literally as I watch it outside my window and it's definitely at this point official the city has issued sms snow warnings to all citizens saying every every sms list I'm on from super far the city are sending out sms saying we're closing our branches Wednesday three to seven clouds will start to roll in that's currently going on precipitation will initially fall as rain and icy sleet otherwise known here as grapple it will get really windy and rates of precipitation will fall heavy at times but will also remain spotty especially earlier the falling rain slash ice will be instrumental in cooling the ground level making it very cold snow may begin to mix in towards 6 p.m so it's currently obviously the winter here in Jerusalem it gets dark at approximately 5 p.m so it's going to be already nighttime at this stage unfortunately for other video people hoping to record this so then after dark Wednesday 7 in 7 p.m until Thursday 6 in the morning this will be when the main show really starts hashtag all night are coming up precipitation should begin falling much more heavily and will transition fully to snow especially between 10 and 4 a.m snow rates will fall with great intensity and snow will accumulate the intense convective process overhead may bring lightning and thunder at times allowing for the really cool experience of thunder snow to occur throughout the city roads will be hazardous at this time so be careful out there Thursday 6 a.m through 11 a.m snow will continue to fall but at much lighter rates the city will be covered in a white layer of snow i'm gonna actually just find here the dawn time for tomorrow by looking up the religious prayers also known as manim so people can know when to expect this spectacle um according to my is manim.com uh we have a sunset today at fight in Jerusalem at 5 0 7 p.m nightfall al-seda kochavim is going to be 5 24 so 5 5 0 7 is going to be sunset so it's going to be after nightfall by the time snow starts falling dawn tomorrow is at 5 20 a.m so that's 5 20 so by that time you should be able to wake up so at 6 p.m we should wake up to snow Thursday 6 to 11 snow will continue to fall but at much lighter rates it will be covered in a white layer of snow based on the latest data i think the most realistic snow accumulations will range from 5 to 10 centimeters with 10 to 15 only possible in the highest parts of the city Thursday um 11 a.m onwards precipitation will continue to fall but more lightly and we'll transition back into light rain and ice however there's a question of whether time snow will keep falling especially if cloud coverage remains thick in fact the lower levels of the atmosphere will remain very cold well into Friday these low-level temps normally would allow for snowfall anyway a lot of very detailed meteorological stuff that i can't follow there but bakitsor as i say in Hebrew it's going to according to this guy it's going to be snowing from uh three sorry seven p.m um onwards this evening through to Thursday morning and then we're going to wake up to snow hopefully a bit more snow going on on Thursday according to Haaretz um winter storm alps hits Israel on Wednesday bringing snow to the northern Golan Heights snow is expected to fall in Jerusalem later in the day alongside thunderstorms and high winds throughout the country in Jerusalem the snow is expected to begin in the afternoon and accumulate to a height of 15 to 20 centimeters six to eight inches the municipality is recommending that residents stay close to home there you go guys uh so that is the latest situ on the snow here in Jerusalem i am going to be wielding a camera and going to catch some footage of the delightful phenomenon of Jerusalem snow as soon as it emerges in the sky and i cannot wait for this always really look forward to seeing snow thank you guys for watching subscribe for more videos
