In Franconia and the Upper Palatinate, the weather service expects frost and smoothness.

Wind gusts and risk of flooding: Exciting weather conditions in Bavaria

The division by the air mass boundary will probably continue until the end of the weekend - with low temperatures in the north of the Free State and warmer ones in the south, where it will rain heavily and probably continuously.

“This weather situation has great potential for surprises.

Some get a lot of snow overnight, others a lot of rain and rising river levels.

A storm is also possible later," Dominik Jung describes in the weather mail.

The coming days will be turbulent in large parts of Bavaria - mainly because of real "rain masses" that are supposed to fall over the Free State.

There is even talk of “winter thunderstorms”.

Storm gusts are also possible, the longer the air mass limit remains, the higher the risk of flooding and flooding.

An "exciting weather week" is imminent, Jung wrote in conclusion in the

wetternet

weather mail of Monday, March 6th.
