Smoothness in southwestern Germany:
9:20 Radar may give precipitation too early
Below is the radar image from 9:20 am. The radar scans the sky at some height and the snowflakes still need some time to reach the ground. Also, some of the precipitation at the front boundary (northern side) of the precipitation area evaporates before reaching the ground. So it may be the case in the coming hours that the precipitation radar indicates that something is already falling in your area, but it will then take another 15-20 minutes before it actually happens.
8:50 Snow in the south and southeast, a wintry shower in the north today
It will snow in the south of Limburg during the morning. This afternoon and evening it will snow in Limburg for a long time, creating a snow cover of several centimeters. Most snow falls in South Limburg, especially in the Limburg hills. It will also snow lightly in the southeast of Brabant this afternoon. A little snow falls temporarily in the Breda region and in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. The quantities (particularly in Limburg) in this ticket will only be reached at the end of the day.
It may become slippery today on the Wadden Islands, in Groningen, in Friesland and in parts of North Holland due to an occasional winter shower.
Tonight and tonight it will be dry from the northwest in North Brabant and Limburg. In the southeast of Limburg only at the very end of the night.
8:30 Local slippery conditions occur throughout the country
It can be slippery locally throughout the country due to remnants of snow or freezing of wet road sections.
