In the districts of Weilheim-Schongau, Traunstein and Berchtesgadener Land there are still warnings about squalls (colored orange on the warning map).

DWD warns of hurricane-like gusts: red alert on Good Friday in Bavaria
Update from March 29th, 2:06 p.m.:
The DWD is currently warning of hurricane-like gusts and the red alert is in effect (see initial report). Then the sun follows - before it gets wet.
According to the DWD forecast, the Easter weekend in Bavaria will be sunny and warm until Sunday - but rainy on Easter Monday. For Saturday, the DWD expects “exceptionally” warm weather with highs between 20 and 25 degrees. The sunny weather is expected to be dampened by veiled clouds.
Easter Sunday starts with some rain in Franconia, otherwise a mix of sun and clouds is expected. The maximum values are 21 degrees. However, after a sunny start to Monday, dense clouds are expected to move in from the west. At temperatures between 13 and 20 degrees it can rain at times.
