DWD's prediction also suggests a second winter flood on the Rhine before Christmas, as reported by the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV).

Heavy rain is expected to persist in the Sauerland area as the "storm low" departs, causing wet conditions in the region.

The DWD has issued a warning for potential flooding in the Westerwald and Westerwalden region, due to the heavy rainfall and the sensitivities of the area to such weather conditions.

While the storm depression moves away, the Weather Service in North Rhine-Westphalia continues to monitor the situation, cautioning residents to stay informed and prepared for any further inclement weather.

The Bergisches Land and nearby regions, such as the Eifel and East Westphalia, are forecast to experience continuous rainfall until Sunday, potentially leading to additional flooding concerns as Christmas Eve approaches.
