Overview
- A polar front moving in late Sunday into Monday ends the recent warmth as highs fall to roughly 1–7 degrees and nights dip to freezing.
- The DWD expects snowfall mainly in higher terrain with a snow line near 1,000 meters at first, briefly lower in spots with only light accumulations.
- Rain early on may wash Saharan dust out of the air, raising the chance of discolored 'blood rain' before colder, showery conditions take hold.
- Tuesday’s setup favors lake‑effect snow showers near the North and Baltic Seas, producing narrow, locally intense bands that can reach inland.
- Meteorologists warn of morning slipperiness from frost, sleet or wet snow and note model disagreement for late week, with experts calling this a short winter interlude rather than a broad lowland snow event.
