The storm low over the North Sea brings mild air to Bavaria, while a cold front passes from the northwest on Tuesday night. Here, even frost and smoothness are expected through fierce wetness in the southeast of Bavaria. Stormy gusts between 60 and 80 km/h can occur in the ridges of the northern low mountain ranges, while even heavy gusts of wind at speeds of up to 100 km/h are possible in high layers of the Rhön. In addition, snowfall in the Alps is expected from the night of Tuesday, with fresh snow from 1 to 5 cm above 800 to 1000 m and up to 15 cm in the Allgäu Alps.

In another context, meteorological observations reported on the weather conditions in southern Germany, where a snow -capped landscape could be seen on the morning of November 22, 2024. On this day there were sometimes storm -like snowfalls from Thursday afternoon to Friday morning. Germany was in the sphere of influence of a high -altitude trough with a rotary center above the Bottnian gulf. A deep with the name "Renate" developed over it and intensified on his way via France towards Western Alps and northern Italy. The snowfall spread from East France and Switzerland to the south of Baden-Württemberg. Within a few hours, up to 25 centimeters of fresh snow could be measured in some regions, in the Oberallgäu it was even 32 centimeters.

On Thursday evening, the snow slabs already led streets to numerous accidents. For November 22nd, only individual snow showers in the south could be expected. The refreshing winds could borrow the snow masses and pile up locally. Another low, which is known under the name "Sigrid", moves towards the Atlantic and will bring milder air to Germany, whereby daily maximum values ​​are expected for Sunday in the southern parts of the country, which will reduce the snow cover.
