I am embarking on a leisure trip to BER tomorrow and really have to get back on Sunday. If as forecast, how bad will this be compared to previous “wind” events?
It's going to be pretty windy, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a yellow warning nearer the time.
Depending on which model you prefer, you're looking at anywhere from gusts in the mid 40s to the low 50s (mph) by Sunday evening, with some (e.g. the American GFS) then going into the low to mid 60s by the early hours of Monday morning. At this range, it could still change a bit, either in terms of strength or timings.

Nothing too crazy by the looks of it, but might be enough to introduce delays.
