Snowfall and increased risk of slippery weather can also be expected in the western half, for example in the Eifel, Hunsrück, Westerwald and Siegerland regions.
In low mountain ranges, five to ten centimeters of snow could fall.
In the lower regions of Germany, however, there is hardly any snow left because of the comparatively mild temperatures.
"There it will mostly stay when it rains, maybe a wet snowflake will be added," said the weather service.
It'll be wet next week
In the eastern half of Germany, however, it usually stays dry.
In the night of Sunday in the north, further precipitation, partly as snow or sleet, is to be expected.
Already on Saturday night there was light to moderate snowfall, especially in the west and southwest, later in the middle.
According to the information, the coming week will still bring shower-like precipitation, which will turn into snow above 300 to 400 meters.
Only in northern Germany does it usually stay dry.
The maximum temperatures fluctuate between one and five degrees, less often there is slight permafrost.
