Overview
- DWD alerts highlight a renewed risk of black ice from freezing rain late Friday into early Saturday, focused on parts of Bavaria and the southeast including the Donau valley, Oberpfalz, eastern Upper Bavaria, the Allgäu and areas around the Swabian Jura.
- Forecasters expect temperatures to rise widely to around 5–10 °C through the Advent weekend, with stronger southwesterly winds at the coast and on exposed peaks where gusts of 60–90 km/h are possible.
- Friday brings patchy morning glazing in the south, then a higher likelihood of freezing rain overnight into Saturday; the glatteis threat gradually eases during Saturday.
- Winter conditions persist at elevation with snow cover in the Alps and higher Mittelgebirge after locally heavy falls earlier in the week, and avalanche services continue to advise caution in alpine terrain.
- DWD’s warning map shows widespread level‑1 advisories, and outlooks point to a grey, changeable weekend with some sun returning in the east on Sunday while the west sees more showers.
