Warm to Hot areawide with above average readings this afternoon. The sea breeze and a chance to cool off will arrive on the SE winds, as tropical moisture spreads across the Parishes into south Arkansas and deep E 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 even as some rain falls over portions of Lower East Texas. Elsewhere, little if any significant rainfall expected through the first week of September.
Here are today's climate records for selected sites across our Four-State area.
