The Four State Region is expected to experience another round of extreme heat as we move into early September. Moderate to Major Heat Risk is expected areawide by the middle to latter half of next week.

Hot conditions with above normal temperatures are expected today, as readings climb into the mid 90s to near 100 degrees. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon over portions of Deep East Texas and Western Louisiana.

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.
