On Friday, temperatures will rise slightly, but it will still be cooler than usual for the season across most of the country. In the north, localized rain is expected, with a chance of isolated thunderstorms. Skies will be partly cloudy to clear during the day and overnight. In the early morning hours, drizzle to light local rain is possible in northern Israel and along the coastal plain.
Saturday will be partly cloudy, with no significant change in temperatures. Localized rain, mostly light, is expected in the north and along the coastal plain.
On Sunday, temperatures will remain largely unchanged, with partly cloudy to clear skies. Light, localized rain is still possible in northern Israel. On Monday, temperatures will rise, skies will be clear and conditions will return to seasonal norms.
