00:00Could the UK be slammed by a 600-mile wall of rain?
00:03It started with chaos in the U.S. as Hurricane Aaron strengthened to a Category 4 storm.
00:09Waves up to 20 feet, mass evacuations in North Carolina, and life-threatening surf along
00:14the East Coast.
00:15Now all eyes are on the UK.
00:17Forecasters warn that the remnants of Aaron could head across the Atlantic.
00:21And while the hurricane will weaken, it's still packing a punch.
00:25Meteorologists say the storm could span 600 miles wide as it reaches UK shores.
00:30That means wet and windy weather could hit just in time for the bank holiday weekend.
00:35Expect thundery showers, strong winds, and gloomy skies across the South and West.
00:39But there's more.
00:41Parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland are already under a yellow warning for thunderstorms.
00:45Up to 70 mm of rain could fall in just two hours.
00:49Flooding, travel chaos, and power cuts are all on the table.
00:52And after one of the sunniest Julys on record, this could be the start of a major shift in
00:57Britain's weather.
00:58So is this a brief storm, or the first sign of a soggy end to summer?
