Summer continues and so does the heat. Daytime high temperatures might be a couple of degrees cooler and some drier air may help to reduce high index values slightly. Daytime highs should be in the mid to upper 90s with peak heat index values between 105 and 109 degrees in most locations.

Despite some recent rainfall, flash drought conditions continue across the entire Four State Region. As a result, much of the region remains under a Burn Ban at this time.

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