Good morning! Showers and a few thunderstorms will be in the forecast for the entire day. Grab the umbrella for any plans or events today and tomorrow. A frontal system has stalled in the northern portions of the ArkLaTex keeping these storms in the forecast all weekend long. Areas across the ArkLaTex could receive 2-4"by the end of Sunday. Localized areas could get up to 5". The severe weather threat continues to stay low, but any of these storms could cause heavy downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning.

With the threat of heavy downpours the following counties has been put under a Flash Flood Watch until 4PM tonight. Low lying areas and roads could flood quickly. Remember: never drive through flooded roads!

Texas: Titus, Morris, Camp, Red River, and Bowie

Oklahoma: McCurtain

Arkansas: Little River, Sevier, Howard, Hempstead, and Nevada

Highs today will be confined to the low 80s dues to increased cloud cover. There will be some dry time for some today, but expect today to have higher rain chances than tomorrow.

Tomorrow, showers and storms will be more scattered with a 40% chance of seeing rain across the entire ArkLaTex. Highs will continue to stay in the low 80s with mostly cloudy conditions. I do expect some dry time throughout the afternoon.

Looking ahead to next week, frontal systems continue to linger across the ArkLaTex making the weather pattern unsettled. Keep the rain gear and umbrella handy all week long! Highs in the mid to upper 80s for Monday with scattered showers and storms. Tuesday looks to be the driest day of the week with highs in the mid 80s. More widely scattered rain for Wednesday with highs in the low 80s. More scattered showers in the forecast for Thursday and Friday.

Have a great day!
