Climate

Severe thunderstorms are again expected today especially across Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and Southwest Arkansas. Damaging winds, large hail, and isolated strong tornadoes will be possible with these storms.

A Flood Watch remains in effect through early Sunday morning for McCurtain County Oklahoma, as well as Southwest Arkansas and extreme Northeast Texas. The threat for flooding exists with additional rainfall amounts of 3-6+ inches possible.

The potential for flooding will increase today across portions of extreme Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and adjacent Southwest Arkansas, and will expand across more of Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas Friday and Saturday. Additional rainfall amounts of 3-6+ inches are expected along and north of the I-30 corridor, with widespread 1-2+ inch amounts expected elsewhere.

A stationary front will linger along the I-30 corridor today, resulting in range of temperatures on both sides of the front. Storms will increase this morning northwest of I-30 this morning, with additional scattered severe storms developing this afternoon across East Texas and Northwest Louisiana.

Here is today's climate information for several large cities in our Four-State area.
