After weeks of monsoon-fueled thunderstorms, wildfires and sweltering heat, “an early season cold front” is expected to bring temperatures down across California this week.

The show also seeks to make some weather phenomena like hurricanes or thunderstorms less scary by helping the young audience understand the science behind what is happening.

Scorching temperatures that baked Southern California over Labor Day weekend will continue this week paired with thunderstorms and lightning strikes that will heighten fire risks across much of the state.

Forecasters are not expecting significant winds, though any thunderstorms could stir up the atmosphere.

The chance for thunderstorms will be strongest over the Riverside and San Bernardino county mountains, where some patches of heavy rainfall could cause flash flooding.
