Meteorologists are cautioning against an impending harsh winter onset, marked by snow, storms, and plummeting temperatures. Weather models depict a turbulent picture, with snowfall anticipated over the Advent weekend, potentially affecting areas like Frankfurt. The snow line is expected to vary between 400 and 600 meters, depending on the model. A low-pressure system could unleash gale-force winds, possibly reaching hurricane strength, especially in coastal regions and elevated areas.
Commuters and drivers should brace for challenging conditions as temperatures are set to drop drastically from Monday, increasing the risk of widespread frost. In particular, regions like Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria may experience significant snowfall starting December 8, with snow levels between 200 and 400 meters. The winter storm could lead to hazardous roads and sidewalks, as temperatures hover near freezing, reaching lows of -10°C in higher altitudes.
The weather shift includes a wind direction change towards the northwest by the second Advent, bringing rain and storms. Authorities are urging the public to stay updated through weather warnings and prepare for the severe conditions. It’s time to ensure winter tires are in place to navigate the snowy chaos expected in the coming days.
