Thundershowers, downdraft wind expected across parts of Oman
Muscat: The Civil Aviation Authority has issued a weather alert, highlighting the development of thundershowers and strong downdraft winds over several parts of the Sultanate. According to the latest forecast, weather conditions will remain unstable over parts of the Al Hajar Mountains, adjacent areas in Al Wusta Governorate, and sections of Dhofar Governorate, beginning from 1:00 PM. Cumulonimbus clouds are actively forming over the Hajar range, bringing the likelihood of scattered rainfall, some of which may be accompanied by thunderstorms and strong downdraft winds. The strength of these weather systems is considered moderate but could still result in reduced visibility, particularly in areas affected by dust or fog. In southern Oman, the influence of the Khareef monsoon continues to dominate. Coastal areas of Dhofar and the adjacent mountain ranges are witnessing increased cloud cover with conditions favorable for light, intermittent drizzle. Simultaneously, clouds continue to flow over parts of both Al Wusta and Dhofar, maintaining a generally cloudy to overcast sky across those regions. Elsewhere in the Sultanate, the skies are expected to remain mostly clear. However, there is a chance of cloud formation over parts of the Al Hajar Mountains, with occasional isolated showers that may be accompanied by thunderstorms. The forecast also includes the possibility of low clouds and fog patches forming late at night and into the early morning, especially along the coastal zones of both the Arabian Sea and the Sea of Oman. Over desert and open areas, the rise of dust due to active wind conditions may further contribute to a drop in visibility. 2022 © All right reserved for Oman Establishment for Press, Publication and Advertising (OEPPA) Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

Environment and Climate Change Canada is warning funnel clouds could develop in parts of southwestern Manitoba on Friday afternoon. The weather agency issued a special weather statement shortly after 12:30 p.m. 'Weak thundershowers are expected to develop in the area this afternoon and they will have the potential to produce a funnel cloud. They are expected to weaken early this evening,' ECCC wrote. The special weather statement encompasses more than a dozen municipalities in the region and includes places like Rossburn, Minnedosa, Elkhorn, Virden, Melita, Souris, and Deloraine. Turtle Mountain Provincial Park and Riding Mountain National Park are also under the advisory. 'These types of funnel clouds are generated by weak rotation under rapidly growing clouds or weak thunderstorms. This weak rotation is normally not a danger near the ground,' ECCC explains. 'However, there is a chance that this rotation could intensify and become a weak landspout tornado.' This is a developing story.

Weather Permitting: Fayetteville area remains under a heat advisory. Is relief in sight?
Fayetteville got its first real taste of summer this past week — an oppressive, air conditioning-straining visit to Satan's front porch as heat index readings climbed above 110 degrees. But we've seen worse — much worse — early summers in the past. Late June heat waves are less common in the Cape Fear region than the occasional blast furnaces we see in late summer. A quick look in the weather history book, however, reveals a few "early bird" roastings. Heat relief: Cooling centers open in Cumberland County amid dangerous heat. Here's where to go Notably, the early summers of 1952 and 1954 were miserable in central and eastern North Carolina. Fayetteville hit a high of 105 on June 28, 1954 — the hottest June day on record until we hit 106 in the withering heat wave of 2012. The city seems a lead-pipe cinch to finish June with an average high temperature above 90, about 2 degrees above the 30-year average. While the region won't see the hazardous heat of last week, look for the rest of the month to be hot and muggy. In other words, welcome to late June in Fayetteville! There's really not much change in our typical summer setup. High pressure will build, then slowly slide offshore, pushing warm, humid air over the Carolinas. Temperatures and dew points will combine to create heat advisories, with occasional scattered afternoon thundershowers that wane after sunset. Friday will see highs of about 95 in Fayetteville, with a heat index in the low 100s. Overnight lows will hold in the mid-70s. More of the same across the region, with perhaps an uptick in showers as we head into next week. Air movement will be slow and sultry, keeping the region hot and muggy. Highs both days will be about 95, lows of about 75. Monday and Tuesday continue this stagnant pattern, with perhaps more afternoon showers in the northern region. By Wednesday, it looks like a frontal boundary may push southward, increasing the chance of showers. After that, temperatures should drop a bit by the end of the week. Fayetteville will see highs in the low 90s, with lows closer to 70. Have a great weekend and stay cool! Got a weather question?
