Today's Climate Data

Showers and thunderstorms containing heavy rainfall, which may result in flash flooding, will continue this morning across portions of the region, before diminishing later this afternoon.

A Flood Watch is in effect through 1 PM this afternoon given the potential for locally heavy rainfall over already saturated soils which could lead to flash flooding.

A Slight Risk for heavy rainfall and flash flooding will continue again today across portions of extreme Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, and North Louisiana this morning, before diminishing later this afternoon. The threat for locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding will continue across these areas today as showers and thunderstorms develop and shift southeast.

A Marginal risk for severe thunderstorms exists today for Southeast OK, Southwest AR, and portions of extreme Northern Louisiana. Damaging winds and heavy rainfall are the primary threats from any strong storms that develop.

Hot and humid conditions are expected today, despite scattered showers and thunderstorms that will persist across the northern and eastern half of the region this morning before diminishing during the afternoon. Locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding will be possible through at least early this afternoon. Look for temperatures to climb into the upper 80s north to lower 90s elsewhere.
