Ammon News - Jordan on Tuesday will be affected by an air depression coming from Syria, bringing chilly weather and spotty showers in the northern and central parts of the Kingdom, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) said in its daily brief.

At night, rainfall will extend to cover other regions and may turn heavier, mainly in the western areas of the country, accompanied by lightning, thunder storms and hail at times, and making floods in the valleys and lowlands, including the Dead Sea, while winds will be southwesterly active with strong gusts exceeding 50 km/hour and blowing dust in the Badia, the JMD added.

The weather department also warned of slippery roads in the areas experiencing rain, poor visibility due to fog, strong winds and of flood formation.
