A strong Western Disturbance is set to affect Jammu and Kashmir over the next 36 hours, with widespread moderate to heavy rainfall expected across the Union Territory.
The system may also bring gusty winds, thundershowers and isolated hailstorms in some areas, while vulnerable locations could face the risk of flash floods.
Higher reaches and key mountain passes such as Zojila, Sinthan Top, Mughal Road, Sadhna Top and Razdan Top are likely to receive fresh snowfall. There is also a slight possibility of light snowfall in the middle elevations between 2,100 and 2,400 metres.
Weather conditions are expected to improve gradually by Sunday, although a few places may still witness brief spells of rain.
