Overview
- After double-digit highs in parts of the southwest on Friday, weekend weather turns quieter with widespread fog or low stratus and daytime highs generally near 0 to 10 degrees.
- Deutscher Wetterdienst warns of recurrent nighttime frost and localized road ice through early next week, including pockets below minus 5 to minus 9 degrees in the southeast.
- Multiple models, including ECMWF and national guidance, increasingly favor an easterly setup late next week that could start a more pronounced cold phase across Germany.
- Some runs and meteorologists project very low night values in the last January week (locally around minus 15 degrees and lower in spots), but the magnitude and timing remain uncertain.
- Early signals point to limited precipitation as dry air moves in, so broad snowfall is not expected initially, though local snow could develop later if patterns shift.
