According to the weather forecast, the system is likely to cause scattered precipitation, with light rain in lower areas and snowfall over higher-altitude locations. However, the intensity of the disturbance is expected to remain limited, with no major change in the overall weather pattern anticipated.
The forecast comes after a recent spell of widespread precipitation that brought substantial snowfall to several mountain passes, affecting road connectivity across the region.
Sadhna Top and Razdan Pass received more than a foot of fresh snow each, while Sinthan Top recorded around 8–10 inches. Zojila Pass also received heavy snowfall, affecting traffic movement along the Srinagar–Leh National Highway.
The Kishtwar–Anantnag road via Sinthan Top remained closed following snow accumulation, while the recent snowfall added to the snow cover at popular tourist destinations, including Gulmarg, Sonamarg and Pahalgam.
Gulmarg recorded a minimum temperature of minus 0.5 degrees Celsius during the previous spell, the lowest of the season so far.
Meanwhile, the Jammu region, which received scattered rainfall in areas such as Batote and Banihal, is witnessing an improvement in weather conditions, with daytime temperatures expected to rise towards the mid-20s degrees Celsius.
The latest forecast indicates that the incoming Western Disturbance is unlikely to bring substantial precipitation, although light rain and snowfall may occur at scattered locations.
