...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM CDT THIS EVENING...
...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM CDT THIS EVENING...

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north central Louisiana,
northwest Louisiana and east Texas.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.gov on the
Internet for more information about the Excessive Heat Warning and
the Red Flag Warning.

Extremely hot temperatures with daytime highs well into the triple
digits will combine with the humidity to result in heat indices near
or in excess of 110 degrees today. Therefore, the Excessive Heat
Warning remains in effect for deep east Texas and northern and
central Louisiana. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be
possible this afternoon. Locally gusty winds, brief heavy rainfall
and frequent lightning will all be possible with these thunderstorms,
before they diminish during the overnight hours.

The combination of warm to hot temperatures and critically to
extremely dry conditions will result in a continuation of dangerous
fire weather conditions this afternoon and early this evening.
Therefore, a Red Flag Warning is in effect through 8 pm this evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Excessive heat and elevated fire danger risks will ease up for us a
little as a weak cold front brings us back down closer to average.
The critically dry fuel conditions will likely maintain a risk of
wildfires across the region aside from any rain soaked areas.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will linger in the forecast for
Monday, as the upper level frontal system moves through the area.
Isolated strong storms can not be ruled out, with locally gusty winds
and brief heavy rainfall possible. No other hazardous weather is
expected at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Arkansas,
southwest Arkansas and northeast Texas.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.gov on the
Internet for more information about the Excessive Heat Warning.

Extremely hot temperatures with daytime highs in the triple digits,
will combine with the humidity to result in heat indices near or in
excess of 110 degrees today. Therefore, an Excessive Heat Warning
remains in effect. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be
possible this mid to late afternoon. Locally gusty winds, brief
heavy rainfall and frequent lightning will both be possible with
stronger storms, before they diminish during the overnight hours.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Excessive heat of late and elevated fire danger risks will ease up
for us a little as a weak cold front brings us back down closer to
average. The critically dry fuel conditions will likely maintain a
risk of wildfires across the region aside from any rain soaked areas.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will linger in the forecast for
Monday, as the upper level frontal system moves through the area.
More scattered strong storms can not be ruled out, with locally gusty
winds and brief heavy rainfall possible. No other hazardous weather
is expected at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM CDT THIS EVENING...

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for southwest Arkansas, southeast
Oklahoma and northeast Texas.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.gov on the
Internet for more information about the Heat Advisory.

Hot temperatures with daytime highs in the mid to upper nineties
will combine with the humidity to result in heat indices around 105
degrees. Therefore, a Heat Advisory is in effect today for extreme
Southeast Oklahoman, portions of Northeast Texas and portions of
southwest Arkansas. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will also be
possible this afternoon. Locally gusty winds will be possible with
the stronger storms, before they diminish during the evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Cooler temperatures are expected Monday through this coming work
week as a weak cool front will move through the area. This front will
move in late Sunday, but the slower moving upper level disturbance
will keep isolated thunderstorms in play on Monday with locally gusty
winds, brief heavy rainfall and frequent lightning possible. These
scattered showers and thunderstorms may linger across the area early
on Monday, before cooler and drier air filter southward in wake of
the frontal passage for a nice week, Tuesday through Friday.

No other hazardous weather is expected at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
