It will be slippery in the southwest – and cold: Winter thunderstorms are possible in Baden-Württemberg on Wednesday night. They bring snow, wind, ice and cold.
Winter holds the southwest firmly in its grip: snowfalls are expected from the south of the country from Tuesday evening. As reported by the German Weather Service (DWD) in Stuttgart, rain could freeze Wednesday night, black ice and storms in some areas are possible. On the high peaks of the southern Black Forest, gusts could reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour.
Freezing temperatures and freezing rain could make roads dangerously slippery in many parts of Germany in the coming days. Offenbach’s DWD warned on Monday of possible storms caused by black ice. The southwest and the region from southern Baden to the foothills of the Alps are particularly affected on Wednesday night.
Lots of snow and double-digit sub-zero temperatures
North of it, according to the DWD, heavy snowfalls are expected from Wednesday. More than ten centimeters of snow can fall in a few hours. The white splendor also remains in large parts of Germany, as temperatures continue to drop throughout the week.
For the two nights of Friday and Saturday, DWD meteorologists are already predicting severe frosts with temperatures below minus ten degrees in the low eastern mountain ranges. In the night until Sunday it can also be cold down to minus 20 degrees locally in the south and southeast.
It was already cold in the southwest on Monday evening: according to the spokesman, minus 19 degrees was measured in Leutkirch im Allgäu (district of Ravensburg). In Meßstetten (Zollernalbkreis) it was minus 17 degrees, in Geisingen (Tuttlingen district), Pfullendorf (Sigmaringen district) and Villingen-Schwenningen the temperatures dropped to minus 16 degrees.
