NEXT Weather Forecast: Storms done for now, but muggy conditions persist
More storms are possible tonight, but conditions are expected to be dry and muggy during the afternoon hours. Dew points will be near 70, meaning any storms that may develop will have lots of energy for torrential downpours. This means ponding and urban flooding are also possible.
High temperatures will be in the low and mid-80s Saturday afternoon, with winds coming out of the east and southeast between 5-10 miles an hour.
A marginal risk for severe storms is in store for southern Minnesota on Saturday night, which may experience high winds and some hail.
Another round of storms is possible Sunday night and into early Monday morning, and some areas may see another 2-3" of rain by Monday morning.
After that, high pressure will move in and end storm chances starting Tuesday. Looking ahead temperature-wise, highs should be fairly seasonable for the start of the week but will cool into the 70s next weekend.

Slight cool down coming to Colorado with chance of rain
Colorado will see a slight cool down over the weekend as temperatures inch closer to normal. Expect high temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s for the Front Range with mid to upper 70s in the mountains. There is a good chance of afternoon storms in the mountains on Saturday. Rain showers would be a welcome sight to help with the fires. Unfortunately, some of the storms will come with gusty winds and lightning and could spark another fire. The Front Range and plains also have a chance to see some storms, which could begin firing around 2-3 pm. If you are heading to the Broncos game this evening at Empower Field, you could have a quick storm for the beginning of the game; however, the second half should be dry. There is a better chance of storms if you plan to tailgate.

After short reprieve, heat and fire weather to return in SoCal
As cooler, wetter weather helps southern and central California fire crews contain a handful of blazes burning in the region, the National Weather Service warns it likely won't last. Starting Monday, the weather service expects another week of hot and dry weather favorable for abnormally elevated fire behavior and growth in inland areas. 'Sundowner winds' — warm and dry gusts that typically blow from the deserts out to sea during the evening but are more isolated than the infamous Santa Ana winds — could further fuel any fire ignitions along the I-5 corridor. It comes just days after a lengthy heatwave powered multiple fast-growing fires, including the 132,000-acre Gifford fire in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, and the King and Hawk fires in L.A. County. On Wednesday and Thursday, crews working on the Gifford fire capitalized on the cooler, humid weather to undertake an extensive backfiring campaign, using fire to intentionally burn strips of vegetation to create a fuel break to contain the blaze along the northern perimeter. By Saturday morning, crews had upped containment to 73%, compared to 37% Tuesday, thanks to the nearly 5,000-person crew's backfiring operations and aerial attacks. 'We're still not out of the woods, but we're getting closer,' said Rich Eagan, public information officer with the California Interagency Incident Management Team overseeing the fire. 'To control a 131,000-plus-acre fire in two weeks is pretty incredible.' It's allowed the team to begin reducing its size and mopping up the fire — ensuring no hot spots or smoldering embers remain on the scorched landscape to restart a blaze. The King fire erupted early Thursday morning along the 5 Freeway, near Pyramid Lake, amid gusts as high as 30 mph. It burned two unoccupied RVs and threatened to jump the freeway several times, forcing officials to temporarily close all lanes. But by Friday evening, crews managed to reach 75% containment on the nearly 600-acre fire. Firefighters on the Hawk fire, which started Thursday afternoon southwest of Palmdale, reached 76% containment Saturday morning. All remaining evacuation warnings for the two fires were lifted Friday morning. Meanwhile, large swaths of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties remained under evacuation orders and warnings Saturday. But, with six blazes still active in southern and central California, temperatures are expected to peak again by Thursday, topping 100 degrees in some inland areas. The weather service also warned of a high risk for heat-related illnesses for pets and heat-sensitive individuals beginning on Wednesday, with Palmdale, Santa Clarita and Paso Robles expected to see the highest temperatures. It did not indicate any possibility of red flag fire conditions, a designation reserved for the most extreme combinations of dryness, heat and wind that can lead to extensive wildfires that are difficult to control.

B.C. gets help from atmospheric river to fight wildfires, temperatures cool down
An atmospheric river has been impacting the B.C. coast with significant rainfall, delivering much-needed relief to areas experiencing dry conditions and an elevated wildfire risk. It has been a highly beneficial rainfall since it is spread out over a more extended period of time. The recent dry conditions across the B.C. coastline have been a huge contributor for the wildfires in the area. However, we will also see some hazards pop up from the heavy rains. SEE ALSO: The significant rain will be some of the greatest totals this year, and helpful to the building drought conditions across the province. Atmospheric river brings relief and hazards this weekend The event has been classified as an atmospheric river. An atmospheric river is exactly what it sounds like – it's a long, narrow river of water vapour in the lower atmosphere. These rivers in the sky transport moisture from the subtropics to the mid-latitudes and are ranked in intensity on a scale of 1-5. An AR3 event is forecast for the Central Coast and expected to last through much of Saturday and Sunday. More rain to come after hefty totals recorded The atmospheric river brought impressive rainfall totals to B.C.'s South Coast on Friday. Vancouver International Airport picked up 43 mm of rain, making it the rainiest day of 2025 for it and the fifth-rainiest August day on record. Rain continues on Saturday, mainly for the Sunshine and Central coasts while the precipitation moderates and eases for the Lower Mainland. Light showers remain for Vancouver and the South Coast areas while it continues to be widespread for western Vancouver Island, north end of Sunshine Coast, and northward towards Prince Rupert. Coastal communities can expect heavy rain to persist through to late Sunday, and even possibly through early Monday. Mountainous regions could see see 75-100+ mm of rain over the weekend with this event. Populated regions of the South Coast, including the Lower Mainland, can expect 30-50 mm of rain through Sunday, with the bulk of the rainfall having already fallen. The Central Coast could see 75-100 mm through Sunday while 30-50 mm is on the table for western Vancouver Island. RELATED: Localized flooding will be a hazard to look out for if the ground is unable to soak up the rains fast enough. Roadways will also become slick and visibility may be reduced during particularly heavy periods of rain. This rainfall will, however, provide much-needed relief for ongoing wildfires and Level 3 drought conditions on Vancouver Island and parts of the B.C. coastline. Cooling temperatures and summer snow High-terrain snowfall is also quite possible as the cold front dips southward, pulling temperatures down with levels will drop below 3000 m on Saturday and to around 2500 m Sunday, with some high-elevation snow possible on mountain peaks near Tsʼilʔos Provincial Park. A shift to drier conditions with a warming trend is anticipated by the middle of or towards late next week. Temperatures are forecast to remain cooler than seasonal into the weekend, and early next week. However, a return to seasonal temperatures—and potentially warmer-than-seasonal conditions—is expected later in the week.
