15 centimeters of fresh snow could

fall.

There, gusts of wind of more than 100 kilometers per hour swept over the peaks.

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

.

Weather in Bavaria: Snow masses predicted for the Alpine region

(First report)

Munich - The centenary calendar * predicts snow and cold for the beginning of December 2020 - and the forecast seems to be correct.

“The most exciting weather * will be in southern Germany over the next few days,” says

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.

#Snowflakes will fall regionally by Friday.

# Smoothness also remains an issue in some places.
