Thursday Fire Danger

Triple-Digit Days This Summer

Don't "Fall" For It Just Yet

Increasing Signals of a Pattern Change

Today's Records and Climate Data

Continued hot and dry conditions will lead to increased fire danger on Thursday across portions of the ArkLaTex. Follow Burn Ban guidance from local officials.

Now that summer has officially ended, here's a look back at just how hot it was in terms of triple-digit heat. All of our major climate sites easily tallied double digits for the number of days at or above 100 degrees, and all had at least one day at or above 105 degrees!

The calendar says fall has arrived, but the forecast still says otherwise. While it will be slightly milder with lower humidity than recent days, high temperatures will remain well above average for most areas. If there's any consolation, mornings will be much more comfortable.

Precipitation chances are trending above normal as we close out September, with a slight risk for heavy rain heading into early October. With the ongoing drought and fire danger concerns, this is welcome news and should also provide for a slight drop-off in temperatures as well.

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