The first full weekend of September could end problematic for B.C. and Alberta, with a raised risk of severe weather possible that could also spark new wildfires in the former.

B.C. will see a widespread threat for thunderstorms, including pockets of severe risk, which raises worries over new wildfires being ignited. The potential for severe and non-severe thunderstorms also arises in Alberta on Sunday, including for Calgary. Aside from frequent, dry lightning, the storms may bring large hail and strong winds.
