Late Summer Wildfire Threat Continues

Today's Records and Climate Data

The Four State Region is expected to experience another round of extreme heat as we move into early September.

Hot and humid conditions are expected today, with temperatures this afternoon ranging from the mid 90s to near 100 degrees. Isolated showers and a few thunderstorms can not be ruled out today across portions of Southern Arkansas, Northcentral Louisiana, and Deep East Texas.

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 with no significant rainfall expected through the first week of September.

Here are today's climate records for selected sites across the Four State region.
