On video: Flooding in Israel (Article 27a of copyright)
The winter weather that returned at the weekend is expected to continue for the next two days, with rain from the north of the country to the Negev and low temperatures.
During the day, heavy rains fell in the north and center, which led, among other things, to the formation of sinkholes in several locations in Tel Aviv, due to the erosion of the soil under the road.
This evening (Sunday) and during the night rains are expected for episodes from the north of the country to the north of the Negev accompanied by isolated thunderstorms.
Local rain is expected in the southern Negev.
There is a fear of flooding in the coastal plain and the lowlands, and a fear of flash floods in the southern and eastern streams.
Tomorrow rain is expected at times accompanied by thunderstorms in most areas of the country.
There is a fear of floods and flooding in the affected areas, and snow is expected in Hermon.
Also strong winds will blow.
Towards the evening the rain will gradually weaken and decrease.
On Tuesday, the temperatures will rise slightly, and it may drizzle to light local rain.
Strong northerly winds will blow along the coast.
It will be partly cloudy.
On Wednesday, no real change in temperatures will be felt, and it will be partly cloudy.
On Thursday, a slight increase in temperatures is expected and it will be partly cloudy to clear.
The rains will continue until Tuesday.

During the day, four potholes were opened in Tel Aviv: in the north of Ibn Gvirol Street, next to the Menorah Mittehim Hall in the Yad Eliyahu neighborhood, near the Hagana train station and on Mount Zion Boulevard.
There were no casualties in these incidents, but they created traffic congestion.
The series of road crashes apparently occurred due to the erosion of the sandy soil below the road following the rain.
Professionals worked in those centers to fill the potholes again.
