Developments over Normandy and the Bay of Biscay are heading towards the southern coast of the UK for a possible afternoon landfall

Don't get your hope up too high! Thunderstorms are not likely now

It's still rather a nice summer afternoon here. Looks like the weather forecast has gone a wee bit askew.

Thunderstorms will threaten to unleash blinding downpours, severe winds and hail across a large swath of Europe Saturday and Sunday.

Paris will be at risk of powerful thunderstorms on Saturday into Saturday night, as will a wide belt reaching from southwestern and central France north into Belgium and the Netherlands. Watch live from Paris for lightning: http://www.earthcam.com/france/paris/?cam=eiffeltower_hd

The worst of these storms will have potential to damage property.

London could also get thunder and lightning as rain breaks out over much of England Saturday and Saturday. However, severe storms are not expected.

The trigger of the thunderstorm outbreak will be a cold front from the Atlantic Ocean that will dislodge a mass of hot air originating in northwestern Africa.

Berlin, Germany, is forecast to reach 37.8 degrees C (100 degrees F) Sunday; this will be the first time that it will be this warm since the summer of 2010.

Sunday, the threat area will shift eastward along with the cold front, spanning much of Germany into eastern France and Switzerland. Strong, gusty thunderstorms could reach Berlin by Sunday evening. Hamburg live cam: http://www.earthcam.com/world/germany/hamburg/

Looking forward to it, my phone is saying there's a 100% chance of a storm at 7pm. Need the weather to get cooler
