Germany: Adverse weather forecast across parts of Bavaria through at least April 21

Adverse weather is forecast across parts of Bavaria through at least late April 21. Snowfall is forecast across elevated areas of northeast and southern Bavaria. Hazardous travel conditions are likely due to reduced visibility and slippery roads. Sporadic power outages are likely throughout the affected areas.

Orange snowfall warnings (the third-highest level on a four-tier scale) are in effect in the Hof, Kulmbach, Lichtenfels, Wunsiedel, Bayreuth, Bamberg, Tirschenreuth, Neustadt an der Waldnaab, Weiden in der Oberpfalz, Amberg-Sulzbach, Lindau, Oberallgau, Kempten, Ostallgau, Weilheim-Schongau, Bad Tolz-Wolfratshausen, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Miesbach, Rosenheim, Traunstein, and Berchtesgadener Land districts.

Officials could update and possibly extend the coverage of weather alerts over the day.

The adverse weather will likely cause disruptions to ground and air transport in the region. Traffic and commercial trucking delays are possible along regional highways. Dangerous and challenging driving conditions are likely on secondary and rural roads in the affected areas as maintenance crews prioritize clearing major routes. Authorities could close stretches of highway if driving conditions become too hazardous. Flight delays and cancellations are likely due to ground stops and deicing operations at regional airports.
