Variable cloudiness is forecast for Thursday with a slight rise in temperature making for unseasonably warm conditions. Windy in the mountains during the morning and a high-wave warning at Mediterranean beaches until the early afternoon. There's a chance of isolated showers in Eilat and the Arava area between Eilat and the Dead Sea, accompanied by a slight risk of flash flooding.

Despite a drop in temperature in those areas, Friday will be fair and warmer than usual. No significant change on Shabbat. Significant cooling on Sunday will bring temperatures to the seasonal average.
