Several factors contributed to cooler maximum temperatures on Monday including scattered storms, cloud cover and an outflow boundary. This ended the consecutive 100 degree plus maximum temperature streak for many locations. For cities across Northeast Texas however, the streak continues.
A Heat Advisory is once again in effect Today through 8 pm for all of Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma and portions of Southwest Arkansas and Northwest Louisiana. Look for late morning and afternoon heat indices to climb to near 108 degrees today.
There will be at least a Marginal Risk of strong to severe thunderstorms across much of the Four State Region on Wednesday which could continue into the evening and overnight hours. Damaging wind gusts will be the main threat.
The prolonged heat wave shows no signs of giving way as 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.
Another hot day is on tap for the entire Four State Region but not as hot as it has been being, at least across the eastern half of the region. Highs today will range in the mid 90s to lower 100s with small rain chances in the forecast.
