Day of German Unity: Weather to improve for Monday celebrations after unsettled weekend

The holiday weekend will start on an unsettled note, but the weather should clear up by Day of German Unity celebrations on Monday.
Festivities across Germany on Saturday and Sunday could face disruptions as a storm system moves through with scattered showers and a few thunderstorms.
The weekend will not be complete washout, though, as some communities experience wet weather on only one of the two days.

"Showers and thunderstorms will move across the country on Saturday, especially across central Germany where heavier downpours will be possible," AccuWeather Meteorologist Steve Travis said.
The holiday weekend will start on a dry note in southern Bavaria, including Munich, as well as far northern Germany from Bremen to Hamburg to Schwerin.
"Saturday will also still be fairly mild across much of Germany," Travis said.
Southern Bavaria will enjoy the highest temperatures throughout the country as temperatures rise into the lower 20s C (69-72 F).
"Cooler air will move in on Sunday with just a few showers across northern Germany," Travis said. "However, a couple of showers and thunderstorms may be across southeastern Germany, mainly from Munich to the east."

Oktoberfest attendees will want to be prepared with rain gear when moving between tents and attractions.
Autumn jackets that have been left home this week amid the mild spell will have to be brought back out of the closet. Highs on Sunday will be held about 6 degrees Celsius (10 to 12 degrees Fahrenheit) below Saturday's high of around 22 C (71 F).
Showers will return to far northern Germany. While there can be an isolated thunderstorm, most showers will tend to be brief and light and pose only minor inconveniences to those with outdoor plans.
Rhineland-Pfalz and Baden-Württemberg will see the driest weather across the country on Sunday.
By Day of German Unity, conditions will greatly improve, Travis said.
"Monday will be the driest day of the festival weekend with just a brief shower from Berlin on east," he said.

Umbrellas should be kept handy by those planning to spend a part of Monday at Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. There will be dry stretches of the day with any spotty shower lasting less than 30 minutes.
Monday will otherwise feature a mixture of clouds and sunshine across eastern and central areas with more sunshine toward the western border.
Highs on Monday will range from 14-17 C (57-62 F) in the east, including Berlin, and 15-19 C (59-66 F) across western areas.
Following the warmth from this week, the final day of Oktoberfest in Munich will finally feel like its namesake.
The dry weather will hold into midweek.
