Wednesday night is expected to be partly cloudy to cloudy, with light, localized rainfall stretching from the north through the northern Negev.
Thursday will remain partly cloudy or cloudy, with intermittent light rain in northern and central Israel. Temperatures will edge up slightly but remain seasonally cool.
By Friday, skies will clear to partly cloudy conditions. Temperatures will rise in central and southern areas, reaching slightly above the seasonal average.
Saturday is forecast to be clear or partly cloudy nationwide, with an additional rise in temperatures, bringing conditions above the seasonal norm.
