Prepare yourselves, Berlin and Brandenburg residents, 'cause a frosty Thursday's in store, peppered with a smidgen of ice and drizzle! The trusty German Weather Service (DWD) dropped a warning for lingering frost until morning, courtesy of freezing rain. Some neighborhoods, like Potsdam, might even get a brief taste of milder weather due to a daytime temperature bump.
As the mercury begins its climb past freezing at noon and mid-afternoon, reaching a peak between zero to two degrees, tiny droplets of sleet or rainfall will sprinkle certain areas. Meanwhile, fog with visibility as low as 150 meters will form on Friday night in select areas, coating surfaces with frost and making for slippery rides. Luckily for southern Brandenburg, this foggy haze will vanish, possibly ensuring safer travel conditions.
The skies open up to a cloudy start on Friday, with patches of blue emerging from Elster to Neisse afterwards. The day maintains a predominantly dry vibe, but watch out when the evening roll's around – light snow or sleet will grace certain spots, transforming those remaining drops into icy beads. Tempers hold steady around freezing, while winds maintain a gentle to moderate flow.
Stay in the loop with DWD updates and remember, caution's the name of the game in this slick scenario!
