DWD Warns of Frost and Glätte as 'Talat' Brings Up to 20 cm of Snow in the Black Forest

A polar low is funneling moist Arctic air over the country, making roads treacherous.

Overview

  • - The German Weather Service has active yellow alerts for widespread frost and slippery conditions, with the highest risk during morning hours.
  • - The snow line is sinking into low elevations in places, with NRW forecast to see snow or sleet down to 100–200 meters and increased risk from over-freezing wet surfaces.
  • - In windward zones of the Hochschwarzwald, DWD expects 10–15 centimeters of new snow with local peaks near 20 centimeters overnight, alongside strong gusts on higher summits.
  • - Temperatures remain notably low, including early readings around −5°C to −10°C in the south and further nights with widespread frost through the week.
  • - Numerical guidance points to additional cold pulses into late November that could prolong wintry conditions, while the ADAC advises winter tires, reduced speeds and extra travel time.
