The weather outlook for the 24 hours predicts “isolated very light rain and snow” in Jammu and Kashmir. Subsequently, for next two days, widespread light to moderate rain, thunderstorms and snowfall are anticipated across the region. A “yellow warning” has been issued for isolated thunderstorms and lightning in both Jammu and Kashmir during these two days.
