Numerical weather models indicate that the effects of the current low-pressure system affecting eastern regions of Yemen will shift westward over the coming hours.

Forecast data, monitored by Barran Press, suggests that Al-Hudaydah province and areas along the western coast will experience moderate to heavy rainfall as the low-pressure system moves from Al-Mahrah and Hadhramaut in the east.

On Friday, the effects of the low-pressure system reached the city of Aden in the south, bringing rainfall ranging from moderate to heavy, resulting in flash floods in the city's outskirts.

The National Center for Meteorology and Early Warning predicts partially to mostly cloudy skies in mountainous areas, with varying intensities of thunderstorm activity expected in provinces such as Saada, Hajjah, Al-Mahwit, and Dhamar.

The center’s daily bulletin, reviewed by Bran Press, also noted the likelihood of scattered thunderstorms of varying strength accompanied by fog or mist in regions including Amran, Sanaa, Raymah, Ibb, Taiz, Al-Dhale, Lahij, and the highlands of Abyan and Shabwa.

Coastal areas are forecasted to experience partly to mostly cloudy conditions with varying intensity thunderstorms impacting parts of the Tihama plain, southern and western coasts, as well as the coasts of Al-Mahrah, Hadhramaut, and portions of the Socotra Archipelago.

In desert areas, generally clear to partly cloudy skies are expected, with sporadic rainfall in parts of the deserts of Al-Jawf, Marib, Shabwa, Hadhramaut, and Al-Mahrah, alongside moderate winds that may occasionally raise dust and sand.
