As the remnants of Tropical Depression Edouard begin to depart from the Four State Region, light southerly winds and moist air will keep above average heat in place. Temperature minimums will remain in the low 70s and maximums in the upper 90s as a result (some near 100 degrees north of I-30).
Despite some recent rainfall, flash drought conditions continue across the entire Four State Region. As a result, much of the region is under a Burn Ban at this time. The wildfire threat will continue even as some rain falls over portions of Lower East Texas. Elsewhere, little if any significant rainfall expected through the first week of September.
Here are today's climate records for selected sites across the Four State region.
