Today's Records and Climate Data

Continued hot and dry conditions will contribute to increased fire danger this weekend across the entire Four State Region. Follow burn guidance of local officials, especially because many counties and parishes are currently under burn bans. Activities that could start outdoor fires are discouraged.

There is a marginal risk for severe weather across portions of SE Oklahoma and Northeast Texas later this evening and tonight. The main hazard will be damaging wind gusts.

There are increasing signals that we may finally see a meaningful pattern change by the end of September and heading into October. Although this may not impact temperatures very much, it does appear that rainfall will be trending above average during the first half of October.

Another warm upcoming with increasing clouds and the chance for isolated showers and thunderstorms across portions of SE OKlahom and NE Texas. Some of the thunderstorms could be strong to severe.

Here are today's climate records for selected sites across our Four-State area.
