Germany: Drier end to the weekend in store following stormy Saturday

Sunday will be the better half of the weekend across Germany as showers diminish following a wet start to the weekend.
Rain will threaten to fall across all of Germany on Saturday as a cold front crosses the country.
This front will trigger morning showers from Rhineland-Pfalz to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and thunderstorms across the rest of southern and eastern Germany.
Areas from Munich northeast to Dresden and Berlin will be at the greatest risk for downpours, which could threaten to cancel or delay outdoor events, especially during the afternoon.

"Thundershowers will develop in the front's wake across northwestern Germany, especially in the afternoon," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said. "The thundershowers will be spotty in nature but could still briefly interfere with outdoor plans in Dusseldorf, Cologne and Hamburg."
Cool air arriving behind this front will make it feel more like May than early July from Hamburg to Cologne and Frankfurt, with afternoon temperatures ranging from 16-20 C (60-68 F).
High pressure building in from the west will deliver drier air throughout the southern half of Germany on Sunday, resulting in a pleasant day with seasonable temperatures and more sunshine.

The weather will not be quite as pleasant in northern Germany on Sunday. While there will be sunny breaks and comfortable afternoon temperatures, a few brief showers will occur.
"Isolated thunderstorms will also force some residents in northeastern Germany, including in Berlin, indoors for a short time, mainly in the afternoon," Pydynowski said.
High temperatures will generally range from 18-22 C (65-72 F) with the warmest air expected in the south and east.
A milder day will unfold across the entire country on Monday. Dry air will hold from Stuttgart to Munich as a couple of spotty showers persist from Cologne to Hamburg and Berlin.
