A significant storm will move through the Middle East this week, where major combat operations are taking place, with impacts expected from Israel to Qatar to Iran, forecasts show.<\/p>\n

While storms occasionally move through this region, this storm appears to be quite anomalous, with the chances for widespread flooding rains, haboobs — or dust storms — and severe weather, including brief tornadoes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rain and thunderstorms will enter Israel and Lebanon during the day on Wednesday.\u00a0The storms should remain fairly scattered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But by Thursday, the storm begins to organize as it moves across the region with significant Impacts extending from Syria and further south into the Arabian Peninsula.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Impacts from the peak of the storm will arrive in parts of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Iran on Thursday and will last into Friday.<\/p>\n

The main impacts will be severe thunderstorms, including the risk for tornadoes, hail and damaging winds over 60 mph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The storms will also bring flash flooding, possibly over 1 inch of rain, in some locations. That could cause urban flooding in places like Dubai and Abu Dhabi.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dubai typically receives 3.12 inches of rain per year, on average, according to the World Meteorological Organization. Close to an inch or more of rain would be significant.<\/p>\n

There is the potential for higher amounts of rain in the region, which could bring isolated, significant impacts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, haboobs could roll across the Arabian desert, reducing visibility and bringing along gusty winds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of these weather threats will reach into Iran, where some of the mountainous regions of the country might see some snow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It will take until Saturday for this entire storm to clear the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Military strikes have been taking place in Iran and surrounding regions since Feb. 28, including massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military and government sites and retaliatory strikes<\/a> by Iran.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
