Overview
- Saturday is largely calm and often sunny in many regions, but the Deutscher Wetterdienst says the pattern ends overnight into Sunday when temperatures fall into the frost range.
- The DWD has issued numerous Warnstufe Gelb alerts for many counties because light rain arriving in the west and southwest can freeze on cold surfaces and produce localized glatteis.
- Ensembles show repeated Atlantic lows bringing 48–72 hour rainfall totals of about 30–50 l/m² regionally with simulated orographic amounts up to 100–150 l/m² in staulagen.
- Models indicate an increased wind risk early in the week with possible storm gusts up to roughly 80 km/h on ridge lines and around 60 km/h in lower western areas, though the exact tracks and severity remain uncertain.
- Motorists and local authorities should prepare for icy roads overnight and for wet, windy conditions through the coming days with rising river levels a possible secondary impact; people should follow DWD updates and local warnings.
