Late Monday to Tuesday there is risk of very heavy rain and strong thunderstorms in parts of the UAE and Oman.
Feb 24, 2010 Update:
It seems that there will be 2 waves of rain affecting the region. The first one being on Saturday with impact on the UAE. There will be possibly some scattered showers and a few thunderstorms on parts of the UAE along the Arabian Gulf. Then the impact might move to eastern UAE and Oman early Sunday.
The 2nd wave of rain could contain heavy thunderstorms forming on Monday till Tuesday. Some models predicitng it to hit the UAE and others show Oman as a target. Some models predict the storms to be exceptionally heavy with lots of rain.
Friday could be hot with temperaturs raching 35 with the possibility of a sandstorm.
In all cases UAE and Oman should keep an eye on the developing weather.
Saturday Feb 27 2010 500mb upper air heights. Tight contours around the UAE.
Tuesday Mar 2nd, 2010 500mb upper air heights. The upper low gets closer to the UAE and Oman
Feb 21, 2010 Update
This post is going to be continuously updated and it is about the possibility of a spring low pressure system that could impact various parts of the Arabian Peninsula.
I’m must emphasize that I’m more than 50% confident of thunderstorm and rain formation somewhere over thr Arabian Gulf sometime between Feb 27 and March 2nd. However, I’m less than 40% sure of the impact on the UAE. The weather models are not agreeing on a certain scenario so far!
We shall wait and see.
Expect very warm weather on Friday Feb 26, as a developing low forces winds to blow from the south, before the potential arrival of an active cold front!
