Forecasters are in agreement, predicting this Shabbos will be a stormy one, brining a heavy dose of badly needed rain.

Wednesday may bring an occasional shower in the north and center, but temperatures are warning significantly. This will continue on Thursday, which is expected to be extremely hazy and unseasonably warm, giving way to a gradual drop in temperatures on Thursday night, with a sharp drop on Friday, leading to rain.

The rain is expected to begin in the north and work its way down to the northern Negev, intensifying during the night, bringing thunderstorms on Shabbos, continuing into Sunday.
