Rainfall records were broken overnight as the first bands of the approaching storm moved through the region. However, meteorologists warn that the main impact of the storm, named Byron, is still to come. The storm is expected to intensify on Wednesday, bringing heavy downpours to northern and central Israel. Authorities are particularly concerned about the risk of flooding in coastal cities, the Sharon plain, and flash floods in the wadis of the Judean Desert, as short, intense bursts of rain are forecast.
