Today's Records and Climate Data

Heat Advisory and Extreme Heat Warning headlines remain active across the majority of the ArkLaTex region today. Remember to exercise heat safety precautions if outdoors for any extended periods!

The southern half of the ArkLaTex will see Major Heat Risk conditions today, with 'feels like' temperatures as high as 110-115 degrees, which will be hazardous to anyone without adequate cooling or hydration. After some brief relief, heat hazards may return early next week.

Tropical Storm Bertha will continue to slowly move westward along the Northern Coast. Very few, if any, impacts are expected in the Four State Region. Most of the effects of Bertha will be felt along and south of the Gulf Coast.

Sites along and south of the I-20 corridor will experience their hottest day of the week today, as highs take aim at the lower 100s with heat indices up to 115 degrees possible. Upper 90s again for sites north, before falling into the 70s overnight.

As extreme heat continues across the region today, it remains essential to practice heat safety. Here are some helpful tips and strategies for heat safety.

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