The weekend will be stormy in Bavaria.
In addition, it can snow a lot in some areas.
Freezing rain threatens where it is too warm for snow.
Munich – The Free State is facing turbulent weather in the coming days.
Anyone can do calm winter weather.
In Bavaria it has to be squalls, snowstorms and ice.
It starts as early as today, Thursday (January 27).
The German Weather Service (DWD) is already issuing the first storm warnings for the Bavarian Forest.

Weather in Bavaria: Deep Marie brings snow and storms with it
Deep Marie has made her way to Bavaria.
And she brings "unstable weather" with her, knows DWD meteorologist Gerhard Müller.
Because warm and cold air masses meet here and that means a storm.
It could get really stormy, especially at the weekend.
On Saturday evening there could be gusts of wind even in valleys, and severe gusts of wind are also possible at higher altitudes.
In addition, there would always be precipitation in the form of snow or rain, according to his forecast.
Already on Thursday morning the first foothills of the storm depression Marie Bavaria reached.

At the beginning of Thursday, the Free State is still divided.
In the north, Marie is already stretching out her fingers.
It can rain and snow, with temperatures between zero and two degrees.
Be careful on the streets here.
Freezing rain threatens.
In the south it will remain sunny into the evening.
But then it can also snow heavily here.
"According to DWD information, a first cold front is expected to move from the north into the Free State on Thursday evening and usually bring sleet or snow on Friday night," says the weather service.
That means up to ten centimeters of fresh snow in some areas, and even up to 20 centimeters in traffic jams.
Weather in Bavaria: Strong gusts of wind threaten at the weekend

, warns of storm winds and uprooted trees.
Even if it mainly hits the coasts, storms with speeds of up to 120 km/h can rush through in the mountains.
The jet stream is again partly responsible for the storm situation on Saturday and Sunday.
This time he's from the Northwest.
This is much more dangerous and results in higher wind speeds.
And the high wind is increasing in strength.
We can already observe speeds of up to 280 km/h at the weekend.

Due to the jet stream from the northwest, there is even a hurricane risk on Monday, it is said.
High winds can reach up to 340 kilometers per hour here.
According to Schenk, this could not only lead to massive traffic disruptions on the coast.
In addition, it is getting warmer in the Free State from day to day.
Munich even reported six degrees on Sunday.
Only at the start of the week does winter set in again with snow and rain.
Again, be careful on the streets.
At temperatures around four degrees, there can be black ice.
