Overview

• DWD projects strong thunderstorms from Saturday in southern Bavaria, including the Untermain region, and urges people to bring inside anything that should not get wet.
• Many areas, such as North Rhine–Westphalia, are forecast to be largely dry over the weekend with daytime highs roughly between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius.
• Rheinland-Pfalz and Saarland remain cool and changeable, yet the DWD expects no warnworthy events there.
• In Franken, rain eases but skies stay gloomy with about 12 degrees on Thursday, and a local forecaster sees Sunday more likely cloudy with up to about 17 degrees rather than the sunnier 20 degrees shown by some models.
• Forecast guidance diverges for early next week, with a plausible scenario of renewed rain and falling temperatures if a Scandinavian high steers a stronger low toward the region.
