Prediction of weather conditions - Heavy rain prediction - DWD: potential for flooding
The German Meteorological Service (DWD) predicts a significant amount of rainfall throughout the weekend, potentially causing localized flooding in Baden-Württemberg. This region could experience up to 100 liters of rain per square meter, exceeding the average monthly amount in just 48 hours, as per a DWD expert who spoke on Wednesday. In the eastern half of Baden-Württemberg, rainfall is estimated to range between 50 and 80 liters per square meter. According to the forecasters, this abundance of water poses a risk for smaller streams, which, in turn, feed into larger rivers like the Neckar. This specific stream is already at full capacity as of Wednesday. The meteorological service plans to closely monitor the situation, and while no official severe weather warning has been issued, they've decided to alert the public early in order to raise awareness. Further developments are expected from Friday afternoon, with the situation peaking on Saturday.

The risk of flooding in Baden-Württemberg increase due to DWD's forecast of heavy rainfall over the weekend, potentially surpassing the monthly average in 48 hours. This could fill smaller streams, which then feed into larger rivers like the Neckar, already at full capacity. Residents in the eastern part of Baden-Württemberg may experience rainfall of 50–80 liters per square meter, while Stuttgart and Allgäu might also be affected by this flood situation. The German Weather Service (DWD) will closely monitor this situation, as excessive rainfall can potentially lead to flooding in various rivers.
