In recent developments, Israel's Water Authority has reported a notable increase in the water level of the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), which rose by three centimeters (approximately 1.18 inches) within a single day. This elevation brings the Kinneret's water level to just 73 centimeters (about 28.74 inches) below the upper red line, which marks the lake's maximum capacity. This change signals a significant moment, as the Kinneret is a crucial water source for Israel, playing a pivotal role in the nation's water supply and ecological balance.
The weather forecast for the coming days indicates a mix of conditions across the region. Thursday is expected to be dominated by cloudy to partly cloudy skies. By the afternoon, the emergence of local rainfall is anticipated in the northern and central parts of Israel, despite a general trend toward warmer temperatures aligning with the seasonal average.
Great news.

As the day progresses into Thursday evening, the eastern streams may experience a minor risk of flooding. The night is expected to remain partly cloudy, with local rainfall extending from northern Israel down to the northern Negev, maintaining the possibility of flooding in certain areas.
A shift in weather is forecasted for Friday, with conditions turning partly cloudy to cloudy and temperatures dropping to cooler levels. Rainfall will become more intermittent in the north, with central Israel experiencing localized showers, primarily in the morning, amid strong wind conditions.
The weekend outlook suggests a slight temperature rebound on Saturday under partly cloudy skies. However, Sunday brings a return to intermittent rain across northern and central Israel, accompanied by thunderstorms. The day is also set to feature strong winds, and there's a potential for snowfall atop Mount Hermon as temperatures take a dip.
