DENVER(CBS)-  Slightly cooler air has moved into eastern Colorado. Not a huge change but, may cut the heat by a few degrees from Friday's high temperatures. For example, Denver's high Friday was 96 degrees and Saturday's high may wind up around 92 degrees.

Overall, the air over Colorado will be slightly drier than Friday as well. This will slow down the development of heavy thunderstorms somewhat.

 So although, there are thunderstorms in the forecast for Saturday afternoon the trend is for fewer and weaker storms to develop.

Even with that scenario we still have to watch all burn scar areas for possible flooding if those spots see a thunderstorm.
