Germany: Thunderstorms to bring downpours, gusty winds through Wednesday
A slow-moving storm system will bring additional showers and thunderstorms throughout Germany into Wednesday night.
Parts of southern and eastern Germany were affected by the unsettled weather on Tuesday, and more is on the way for Wednesday.
Showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing across southern, central and eastern Germany during the morning and spread throughout the rest of the country during the afternoon hours.
A few of these storms will become locally severe during the afternoon hours across southern and eastern Germany.
These storms will be capable of producing disruptive downpours, gusty winds and hail.
Locations at risk for these storms include Stuttgart, Munich and Dresden.
Travel delays will be the most widespread concern as downpours can result in poor visibility and water ponding on roadways.
Some brief flight and rail delays are also possible.
A few showers and thunderstorms will continue across the country into Wednesday night; however, the risk for any stronger storms will come to an end after sunset.

The slow-moving storm system responsible for this unsettled weather will drift eastward across Poland and Belarus later this week allowing drier weather to filter across Germany.
While drier weather is expected overall, there can still be a few isolated showers and thunderstorms in southern and eastern parts of the country on Thursday and Friday.
Aside from any brief shower or thunderstorm, skies will be partly sunny with high temperatures near the normal high of 18-19 C (64-66 F) for the middle of May.
Additional showers and thunderstorms will be possible across the country this weekend as temperatures slowly climb back above normal.
