Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible today as diurnally driven convection begins to fire off this afternoon across the ArkLaTex, and to a less extensive extent, once again tomorrow afternoon. The primary threats with these storms will be damaging wind gusts and large hail.
Under clearing skies, another warm afternoon is in store, with high temperatures climbing into the low to mid 80s across the ArkLaTex. Showers and storms will increase in coverage this afternoon and evening, particularly across east Texas and north Louisiana.
