It has been very dry across most of the Four State Region for the last 2+ weeks and as a result, Burn Bans are now in place due to increasing drought. That means the Wildfire Threat will be increasing across our region as well.
Hot conditions will remain, with highs in the mid to upper 90s. However, widespread rain chances will return across the region this afternoon.
Here are today's climate records for selected sites across the Four State region.
