Erfurt/Leipzig (dpa/th) - Motorists must expect black ice on the roads throughout Thuringia on Monday. A warm front is approaching from the west on Monday night, as a spokesman for the German Weather Service (DWD) told the German Press Agency on Sunday. Rain is expected in the second half of the night. However, since it is still very cold near the ground and on the ground, there is a risk of black ice. "You have to expect it at the end of the night, from 4 a.m. to 5 a.m.," said spokesman. Only light rain is expected, but that's enough for mirror-smooth roads.
The weekend was freezing cold in Thuringia. According to the DWD, the lowest temperature of the Thuringian DWD weather stations was measured in Bad Lobenstein in eastern Thuringia at minus 17 degrees. In the ridges of the Thuringian Forest, winter sports fans could look forward to temperatures around minus 8 to minus 9 degrees and sunshine.
