Warnings of relentless rain and powerful winds batter certain sections of Baden-Württemberg
The German Meteorological Service (DWD) issues a stern warning for persistent rain and hurricane-force winds affecting parts of Baden-Württemberg. On Monday, a meteorologist cautionedly mentions that winds of up to 130 km/h might blow through the Black Forest at altitudes above 1000 meters. However, Tuesday evening sees the squalls abate, but the relentless rain continues.
The DWD raises concerns about heavy, unceasing rain in the Black Forest until midday Tuesday. According to the spokesperson, some areas could witness up to 70 liters/m², with densely populated regions even experiencing as much as 100 liters/m².
In the Allgäu portion of Baden-Württemberg, too, the DWD stresses continuous rain. By Wednesday's afternoon, up to 100 liters/m² is anticipated, and congested zones could even receive 120 liters/m².
As a consequence of the precipitation, the flood forecasting center predicts rivers in Baden-Württemberg will experience unprecedented water levels. Rivers in the state's southern regions are especially at risk, according to the Monday situation report. Flood warning thresholds might also be exceeded.
The meteorologist suggests that many areas will continue to be rain-soaked until Thursday before seeing any respite. By Friday afternoon, the precipitation should ease, but weekend rainfall may return, according to forecasts.
The torrential rain and hurricane-force winds may escalate into a storm in particular areas of the Black Forest, as the meteorologist warns. Despite the storm dissipating Tuesday evening, rainfall will persist.
