Weather service expects more snow in the new week
The new week will begin with more snowfall, especially in the mountains. A low pressure system will bring rain and snow in considerable quantities, explained DWD meteorologist Felix Dietzsch on Sunday about the outlook for Monday. "While it will snow continuously in the mountains, there will be a lively alternation of rain and snowfall at lower altitudes, especially below 400 meters," explained Dietzsch.
In the early hours of Monday morning, a low pressure system will bring precipitation to the northwest and west of Germany. "Snowfall will set in quickly in the western low mountain ranges, while it will mostly rain in the lowlands at first," explained Dietzsch. The snow line in the west will mostly be around 400 meters during the day, and between 400 and 600 meters in the southwest. Towards the east, it will snow down to lower altitudes.
In the western mountains, larger amounts of fresh snow up to 15 centimetres could accumulate. "But even away from the low mountain ranges, it should be enough for a little snow cover, at least for a few hours," said Dietzsch. Large parts of northern Germany and the lowest areas along the Rhine will be excluded.
It will get colder on Tuesday night and where there is still precipitation, it will snow down to the lowlands. On Wednesday, the next low pressure system will move in, bringing snow and sleet, especially to the center, explained the DWD. The maximum temperatures on Monday will be between zero and six degrees, while Tuesday will be cooler at minus two to plus four degrees.
"There are still indications that the current weather phase will be a prolonged wintry episode," said Dietzsch. The DWD warned that problems caused by snow, ice and slippery roads should be taken into account during the morning rush hour.
