A low pressure system over Tunisia will move eastwards overnight. In the coming hours, this unstable air mass will intensify. It will form a mass of rain. Although very slow-moving, it will make its way to the central Mediterranean. Its bulk will remain out at sea, just off the Maltese Islands, with only its edge affecting us. We expect a few isolated showers, which may be briefly heavy at times, especially over the south of Malta. Any rain will deposit an abundant amount of fine desert sand. The air may be hazy for a while too, due to airborne fine desert sand. Total rainfall will not exceed 10 mm. The chance of rain will be highest from 03:00 till noon on Saturday 04/04. It will improve later in the day. The wind will be Force 5/6 from the North Northeast to North till around noon. It will then decrease to Force 3/4 and veer Northwest.

Sistema ta’ pressjoni baxxa fuq it-Tuneżija se tersaq lejn il-lvant billejl. Fis-siegħat li ġejjin, din il-massa nstabbli se tintensifika. Din se tifforma massa ta’ xita. Għalkemm miexja bilmod ħafna, din se tilħaq iċ-ċentru tal-Mediterran. Iċ-ċentru tagħha se jibqa fuq il-baħar, ftit il-barra mill-kosta tal Gżejjer Maltin, bit-tarf tagħha biss jaffetwana. Qed nistennew xi ftit ħalbiet iżolati tax-xita, li jistgħu jkunu qawwijin għal ftit ħin kultant, speċjalment lejn in-nofsinhar ta’ Malta. Ix-xita se tkun tal-ħamrija. L-arja tista tkun imdaħħna għal xi ħin ukoll, minħabba trab fin fl-arja. It-total ta’ xita mhux se jaqbeż 10 mm. Iċ-ċans ta’ xita se jkun l-ogħla minn 03:00 sa nofsinhar tas-Sibt 04/04. Kollox jibda jaqleb għal aħjar aktar tard matul il-jum. Ir-riħ se jkun Forza 5/6 mill-Grieg it-Tramuntana għal Tramuntana sa xi nofsinhar. Imbagħad jonqos għal Forza 3/4 u jdur Majjistral.
