The storm is becoming more and more intense in Berlin
Friday, 05:30UTC
The storm is now battering Berlin. The wind howls over roofs, seems to want to press the windows into the buildings. It is horrific, but also terrific. The sounds are amazing.
But behind the actual low pressure area is even more storm, and that storm is what Germany is currently experiencing.

But what about the snow exactly?
It will begin to snow locally and for a short time in front of the front with extreme rain that will move in very rapidly. As the air cools down in the evening, more and more of the rain will turn to snow, especially around the edge of the rain area. In the night most of the rain will turn to snow, already in the late evening it will snow in Berlin and Bremen, and strong snow showers will move through Hamburg. The snow showers are particularily dangerous, since they will dump great ammounts of snow in very local regions very quickly, and are likely to cause a great chaos. It will continue to snow in the night, and during the night the very rare snow thunderstorms are expected in the north sea and on the island Helgoland. During the early morning hours there will be some more snow thunderstorms, mainly in the region of the north sea. But also freezing rain will become a possible problem in E Germany. The strong snow showers will continue, and even if it snows without showery characteristics it is likely that it will still snow hard. From the storm on, most of the precipitation will be frozen.
Tuesday, 05UTC
As far as forecast until now, the Storm will strike central Europe the hardest, bringing gusts over 155kmh to Denmark and far N Germany. Also Germany’s capital, Berlin, is expected to get struck by gusts that may exceed 100kmh.
As of Germany, the storm will move in Thursday, with intense rain and only some snow flakes before the incredibly intense rain beginns. Over the night the atmosphere will cool down, and the rain will turn to snow. Also the rain that already fell will turn to ice. This will mean a big chaos in transportation.
