Weather in Bavaria: It's getting uncomfortable in the Alps
Update from December 4th, 10:50 p.m.:
In the
Alps
, it gets really uncomfortable on the weekend.
Chaos days are ahead *.
According to some meteorologists, some areas could see the heaviest
snowfall
in years.
Many important
Alpine passes
could then be impassable for days - for example the
Brenner
.
The strong wind could also cause problems.
There is a threat of heavy
snowdrifts
.
It is still unclear how much the pre-alpine region in
Bavaria will be
affected.
At the moment, up to 30 centimeters of
fresh snow has been
announced here.
Update from December 4th, 9:51 am:
"On Friday we can expect a rather turbulent weather day," explains wetter.com meteorologist Corinna Borau.
It becomes early winter with
snow and
slippery
- "and at the same time
Föhnorkan
sets in in the Alps
." Especially south of the Alps it becomes dangerous over the weekend, "because the precipitation from the south presses against it and there is real rain and snow masses together," explains Borau continue.
Up to 700 liters per square meter come together locally.
South and East Tyrol as well as Veneto and areas towards Slovenia are particularly affected.
Not quite as much of it arrives in Germany as a result of the foehn, "most of it stays south of the Alps," says Borau.
However, there are
hurricane
gusts
on the Alpine peaks, and
squalls are even
possible
in the Foehn valleys
.
At the edge of the Alps, up to 10 degrees are possible due to the foehn.
Bavaria weather: is there a snow chaos like 2018?
Update from December 3, 4:04 p.m.:
Is there another
snow chaos
at the weekend
like 2018?
At that time, entire regions like the
Jachenau were
completely snowed in.
And this time, too, the weather experts predict massive snowfall in some areas and rain in lower elevations.
According to
wetter.de,
northern Italy
,
South Tyrol
,
parts of Austria
and
Switzerland are
particularly affected
.
But also in
Bavaria
- especially near the Alps - it can snow continuously.
In
northern Italy
in particular,
there is a
risk of floods
and
mudslides
.
According to the
weather portal
, there can be
up to four meters of
fresh snow
there.
In the lowlands, the snow comes down as rain and not too scarce.
The weather experts assume a rainfall of
600 liters per square meter
in three days.
That's how much rain falls in one year in Berlin.
However,
Bavaria
is far from
such an apocalyptic weather situation
.
The Free State may even be completely spared by Tief Wenke.
As
wetter.net
writes, the
path of
the snowfall areas is
unusual.
Therefore, it is hardly possible to predict where and how much precipitation will come down.
The weather expert Franziska Polak assumes that the low will
fall
over Germany
in
three waves
.
The first wave already reached
Baden-Württemberg
and
Hesse
in the night from Friday to Saturday
.
Here sleet and slippery threats.
The second wave comes on Saturday and runs in a band between the
Alps
and
low mountain
ranges across Germany.
There is
sleet
,
freezing rain
and
snow in the
luggage
.
The motto here too: get off the gas!
A third wave breaks over us on Sunday night.
This once again brings abundant precipitation until the
weather situation
relaxes again
on Sunday afternoon
.

meteorologist Georg Haas
from
wetter.com
, beginning
his forecast.
The
Alpine region
is affected
.
There is now “a portion of
fresh snow
in the night on Thursday.” Then the sun
sets
through - “and then comes the
hair dryer
.” This would then quickly clean the snow away again, “at temperatures sometimes over ten degrees in the Foehn storm *. ”But that was not all:“ There is a threat of a hurricane on the mountains above, ”warns Haas.
In the night from Wednesday to Thursday,
minimum temperatures
of -1 to -9 degrees are reached
in the Free State
.
During the day, the temperatures "climb" to -2 to +3 degrees.
Then follows the
"violent foehn storm in the Alps"
according to Haas
.
Weather in Bavaria: Deep ensures snow at the weekend - the Allgäu is particularly affected
As a result - when the
foehn current leaves
- comes the
influence of the next low
.
That in turn ensures snow * on weekends, especially on Saturdays.
“Partly really strong, with correspondingly difficult road conditions.” The entire Alpine arc has to prepare for “
catastrophic amounts of snow
”.
This is also confirmed by the
wetter.de
portal
and warns of a "snow bomb".
Especially in the
Allgäu
there is a threat of "heavy snowfall".
Slippery and freezing wetness are possible.
Away from the foehn areas, there could be 20 to 50 centimeters of fresh snow.
But it can snow again as far as Munich.
