Slight cool down coming to Colorado with chance of rain
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.

The eight places that are set to avoid 600-mile rain storm
The UK's summer has been a mixed bag of weather, with the unpredictable forecasts set to continue as temperatures are predicted to plummet and rainstorms loom. Weather maps reveal a 600-mile band of rain is poised to batter the UK in less than a fortnight, leaving all but eight counties bracing for wet and chilly conditions. The unsettled weather is due to kick off on 27 August, with predictions indicating that the East Midlands and southern Scotland will bear the brunt of the heaviest downpours.

Currently, the UK is enjoying its fourth heatwave of the summer, with mercury levels reaching up to 30C in some regions. However, the incoming weather front could see temperatures plunge to a chilly 5C in central Scotland and around 10C in parts of England. The rainfall is expected to persist for approximately 24 hours, intensifying to around 3mm per hour in northern England on 28 August, while largely retreating from the south, according to the Express. While the impending rainstorm signifies a shift from the hot and sunny conditions enjoyed by most of the country earlier this month, it's just the latest in a series of fluctuating weather patterns this summer, characterised by scorching highs and disruptive downpours. The Met Office has issued yellow thunderstorm warnings for a large portion of north-eastern Scotland and eastern Northern Ireland on Thursday. With the heatwave conditions persisting, there have been alerts about challenging driving conditions, potential disruptions to power supplies and public transport, as well as a risk of flooding. The weather forecaster's outlook for the rest of the month is similarly marked by potential upheaval, brought on by areas of low pressure advancing from the Atlantic. Its long-range forecast for 19 to 28 August indicates: "This brings an increasing possibility of stronger winds and rain, some of which could be heavy and thundery, especially for southern and western areas, but this perhaps becoming more widespread with time." The Met Office's predictions for the period between 29 August and 12 September also caution of "unsettled conditions with showers or longer spells of rain", with the possibility of "heavy and thundery rain and strong winds". It goes on to mention that temperatures will generally stay above average, but with the likelihood of sporadic hot spells in the south. Earlier this week, the UK experienced yellow heat alerts in seven regions in England, as the country has been grappling with heatwaves throughout the season. The yellow alerts highlight a potential increase in fatalities "particularly among those ages 65 and over or with health conditions", according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). Upon issuance, the warning indicates potential strain on health services, with internal temperatures in hospitals and care homes possibly surpassing the "recommended threshold for clinical risk assessment", and potential effects on the workforce's capacity to provide services.

Favourable environment for severe weather in southern Saskatchewan
Sunday will be another day to monitor the skies and forecast closely in southern Saskatchewan, with a prime environment for severe weather. The same trough that prompted tornado watches in Alberta Saturday evening will move east and could set off storms Sunday afternoon and evening, bringing the threat for large hail, strong winds and heavy rain. DON'T MISS: Parts of Alberta and Manitoba could see thunderstorms, as well, but should remain below warning criteria. It'll be important to remain weather-aware, and stay up-to-date on all of the latest watches and warnings as conditions change. Sunday: Severe storm risk shifts eastward on the Prairies The same trough moves closer to the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border, with another corridor of severe thunderstorms popping up for southern areas of the former on Sunday. The greatest risk for severe weather will extend through Regina, and southeast towards Weyburn and Estvan. Any storms that approach severe limits could produce strong wind gusts, large hail, and heavy rainfall. DON'T MISS: Given the amount of moisture in the atmosphere, watch for localized flooding beneath the heavier downpours. Remember, never try to drive across a flooded roadway. It's impossible to tell how deep the water is until it's too late, and it takes a small amount of moving water for a vehicle to lose traction with the roadway. Northern and central areas of the Prairies will be much cooler than seasonal through the weekend while warmer conditions will be found across southern areas. The warmth will expand north and dominate most of next week. However, a shot of much cooler weather will spread across the region late next week and eastern areas will be cooler than normal for next weekend--with highs in the teens across Manitoba and mid-20s to lower 30s returns to Alberta. Warmer-than-normal temperatures are expected to dominate during the final week of August. Stay with The Weather Network for all the latest on conditions across the region.
