- Snow will fall again in Germany on Thursday
- In the Allgäu there can even be up to 35 centimeters of fresh snow
- The next snow front is already on the horizon this weekend
Arctic polar air is now pushing south from Greenland and the weather is turning back to winter. This means that the snowfall limit is also falling in Germany – in places down to 200 to 400 meters. In the central low mountain ranges, more than 10 centimeters of fresh snow is possible this Thursday and within just 12 hours. On Thursday afternoon, between 5 and 10 centimeters of fresh snow could accumulate locally in the southern German low mountain ranges. Here it snows down to 400 to 500 meters. At lower altitudes there may still be slush in places.
Snowfall on Friday night
On Friday night the snowfall will retreat to the edge of the Alps. Another 10 to 20 centimeters of new snow could fall there by Friday morning. In total, up to 25% of fresh snow could accumulate in the Black Forest and the Alps by Friday morning. In the Allgäu even up to 35 centimeters are possible. There is also a risk of icy conditions locally due to light snow showers.
The maximum values on Thursday will be 3 to 10 degrees. At night it cools down to +1 to -6 degrees and there is a widespread risk of slippery conditions.
New snow front from Sunday
At the weekend, a new low will move in from the southwest, bringing mild and moist air from the Mediterranean to us at the front. This will also lead to new rainfall over the course of Sunday.
There will be widespread heavy snowfall on the north side of the warm front. Further north, however, the precipitation increasingly turns into rain. Snow can also be expected in the lowlands from Sunday onwards and freezing rain is also possible in the transition phase as the ground may still be frozen.
