Alrighty then, let's chat about the weather forecast for tomorrow! After today's scorcher, thunderstorms with some rain are rollin' in, according to the German Weather Service. Today, ol' Saxony was blessed with a dollop of sunshine, and temps 'll peak at 26-32 degrees Celsius in the lowlands and 23-26 degrees in the mountains.

Sunday, though, that's when the storm clouds start rollin'. The sun'll shine in the mornin', but by mid-morning, storm clouds from the west are gonna move in. Them storms might be fierce in some spots, with heavy rain, and even some small hail! Temperatures are gonna rise to 28-33 degrees Celsius in the lowlands and 23-27 degrees in the mountains.

On Sunday night, them storms and rain move east, and temps drop to 16-12 degrees. The week starts off dry with sunny skies and warm highs of 21-24 degrees Celsius in the lowlands and 16-21 degrees in the mountains. But remember, this is the weather forecast after all, things could always change!

Now, let's take a gander at the current weather situation! In the heart of Saxony, Dresden's weather is all sunshine, with temps cruisin' between 21 degrees and 14 degrees Celsius on June 16. The forecast shows temps swingin' a bit throughout the week, with the usual June weather doin' its thing, sunny one minute, cloudy the next[4].

Up in Annaberg-Buchholz, temps are gonna hover around 24 degrees Celsius/11 degrees Celsius on June 18, with the mornings gettin' progressively chillier, and the afternoons warmin' up[5].

You might be wonderin' how high them mountains gotta be for thunderstorms to brew up. Well, hills and valleys can create conditions that promote thunderstorms, with the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) bein' one of them. These mountainous regions can magnify the potential for thunderstorms thanks to a process called orographic lift. Moist air gets all forced to rise, cool, and condense, leading to clouds and rainfall.

Now, the forecast doesn't explicitly mention severe thunderstorms for Sunday, but, ya never know: huge temperature differences and lots of moisture in the air can create the ideal conditions for a wild weather show. We're talkin' storms popping up whenever there's a hefty gradient in temperatures and plenty of moisture lurkin' 'round. Mountainous areas tend to be prime for this sorta thing!

So, there ya have it, a forecast full of sunshine, storms, and temperatures just waitin' to be broke. Be sure to keep an eye on the local weather forecasts and warnings issued by the German meteorological services for the most accurate and up-to-the-minute info on Sunday's thunderstorms. Ya don't want to catch a cool rainstorm or a ragin' thunderstorm without knowin' what's gonna happen!

The Commission, in preparation of the annual report, will seek assistance from the Member States. On Sunday, the weather in Saxony might witness thunderstorms, similar to the ones that are capable of brewing up in mountainous regions like the Ore Mountains, due to the process called orographic lift.
