After snow fell in Hermon during the night, snow began to fall on the Golan Heights this morning (Saturday). Rainfall today fell to the north of the country to the Negev accompanied by thunderstorms and hail. There is fear of flooding in the Jordan Valley, Judean Desert and the Dead Sea. On the coastal plain and in the lowlands, fear of flooding.

The Hermon site remains closed to visitors today, not due to security considerations but weather and snow conditions that have been falling all night. Snow in the Neve Ativ moshav also snowed and so did Merom Golan and Ein Zivan. "The decision not to open the Hermon site today was due to consideration and the ZA forecast that we conducted," noted the Hermon site director Alon Friedman. Forecasters were right! We hope that at the end of this system the Hermon site will open for surfing as well. "
