Today's Records and Climate Data

Air temperatures and the humidity will combine to push the Heat Index above 105 "Feels-Like" degrees by around lunch time and peak near 109 during the afternoon, as maximum temperatures occur.

Tropical air and very warm temperatures may produce intense rainfall at times as storm motion will be slow to the west. An inch or two of rainfall may fall in short order and bring a localized flooding threat on dry soil.

A Mix of Sun and Rain clouds with lower to upper 90s across our Four-State area this afternoon. We have slim to no rain chance north, but high chance to likely PoPs along and especially south of I-20.

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.
