Intense thunderstorms and substantial hail predicted
Hey there, folks of Freiburg! Buckle up, 'cause the German Weather Service (DWD) is warning about some wild weather coming your way. On Tuesday afternoon, brace yourselves for severe thunderstorms, complete with lightning strikes, toppled trees, broken branches, and flooded roads. Yikes!
Wednesday isn't looking much better. In the afternoon, southern Baden-Württemberg is expected to get walloped by strong to severe thunderstorms. The DWD is sounding the alarm for potential hailstones bigger than tennis balls – we're talking hailstones up to six centimeters in diameter. Add to that storm gusts and a ton of rain, and some areas may be in for a real soaking. Some areas might even face a elevated risk of heavy to extreme, damaging thunderstorms, with large hailstones up to eight centimeters in diameter, hurricane-force storm gusts (90-130 km/h), and heavy rain (over 40 liters per square meter in a short time).
On Thursday, things may calm down a bit, but it'll still be windy. Highs should hit around 22°C. Overnight on Friday, the mountains could see strong to gusty winds, with gusts reaching hurricane-force at Feldberg.
The weekend looks a bit unpredictable too. DWD predicts clouds and rain showers on Friday, which will bring the temperatures up to a toasty 26°C. The windy conditions will persist throughout the weekend.
