southeast Oklahoma, east Texas and northeast Texas.

with isolated higher amounts, will be possible in some locations. A
Moderate Risk of excessive rainfall is in effect Thursday into Friday

timeframe. Otherwise, improving weather conditions are expected by
this weekend through early next week, with temperatures climbing into
the lower 90s.
