On Monday, Tarifi posted on his Facebook page that the initial depression is expected to occur on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by the second on Thursday, the third on Friday and Saturday, with the fourth depression affecting the country on the subsequent Sunday and Monday.

ArabiaWeather center reported a drastic change in the weather in Jordan starting from Tuesday, following warm temperatures in the past few days, with a series of expected air depressions in the coming days. The center mentioned the beginning of the expected activity affecting the eastern Mediterranean basin, including Jordan, starting from Tuesday and Wednesday, with a low-grade air depression accompanied by a cold air mass.

The ArabiaWeather center has reported a significant weather shift in Jordan starting from Tuesday, following a period of warm temperatures in the preceding days. The center anticipates a series of air depressions in the coming days, noting the beginning of expected weather activity in the eastern Mediterranean basin, encompassing Jordan, beginning on Tuesday and Wednesday. This includes a low-grade air depression accompanied by a cold air mass.

Therefore, this shift is expected to result in a notable decrease in temperatures, and precipitation is anticipated across different regions. The center is closely monitoring the persistent flow of cold winds from Northern Europe into the region, likely contributing to the influence of yet another air depression on Friday and Saturday.

Jordan Meteorology Department (JMD) reported that on Tuesday, Jordan would be impacted by a cold and moist air mass accompanying a low-pressure system situated off the coast of Lebanon. As a result, a significant temperature decrease is anticipated, accompanied by partly to mostly cloudy skies. Rain showers are expected in the northern, central, and limited portions of the southwest regions, with moderate westerly winds occasionally gaining strength.

Moreover, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) warned of slippery roads in areas experiencing rainfall and decreased horizontal visibility over mountainous regions and plains due to low-hanging clouds. Additionally, there is a possibility of reduced visibility caused by dust stirred up by active winds in desert areas.

On Wednesday, the weather is expected to persist with cold conditions, featuring partly to mostly cloudy skies and occasional rainfall in the north, central, and select areas of the southwest regions. Westerly winds will maintain a moderate pace, occasionally strengthening. As the evening progresses, the likelihood of rain will diminish, and clouds will gradually disperse. Fog is anticipated to form over mountainous areas during the night. Nevertheless, Thursday's weather is expected to be characterized by foggy and partly cloudy conditions, with cold temperatures prevailing in most regions. There is a chance of light rain showers in the north, and westerly winds are forecasted to maintain a moderate speed.

In response to the weather conditions, the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) has declared the preparedness of its teams to address any reports received at the Tla'a Al-Ali Emergency Room, urging caution and advising people to stay away from valleys and low-lying areas. Additionally, GAM recommends avoiding the connection of house gutters to sewage drains to prevent flooding. Moreover, citizens are reminded not to dispose of waste randomly to prevent the blocking of rainwater drainage lines.
