Heavy thunderstorms formed in the west and northwest on Friday evening, affecting parts of the states of Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia, according to the DWD. Residents should prepare for flooding in cellars and on roads, while hailstones could cause damage to buildings, cars, and agricultural crops, and there is also a risk of localized lightning strikes. This warning remains in effect until Saturday night, although an extension or expansion of the danger is possible. The weather service noted that the high-pressure system dominating recent days is moving southeast, allowing low-pressure influence, unusually warm, and storm-prone air masses to advance from the northwest.
