We will then see a partly to mostly cloudy sky on Wednesday night and Thursday. A few random thunderstorms will be possible on Thursday afternoon, but the risk of severe weather is looking extremely low. Cooler air will begin to ease into our area Thursday night and Friday with a slightly higher chance for some showers.

Wx Worries: Saturday night storms & lots of rain
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – It still appears that we will see a change in our weather pattern that will result in occasional scattered storms. Our next best chance for severe weather for most of the area will be Saturday night. Late Saturday afternoon or early Saturday evening, strong to severe storms will develop to the northwest of our area in Oklahoma. These storms will gradually shift to the southeast Saturday night. The latest outlook from the Storm Prediction Center still shows a level 2 slight risk for the northern half of the area. IF we have any severe weather issues Saturday night, it will likely come from damaging winds. Within our area, the severe risk will be highest over the northern edge of the area and then decrease as you look to the south. Hi-res model data that goes out far enough to see the location and strength of the late Saturday storms does show wind gusts that could exceed 60 mph, however, there is still some uncertainty as to where these gusts could occur. That being said, I'd put my level of 'weather worry' at 4 out of 10 regarding Saturday night's severe weather threat. The longer-range weather picture still looks rather stormy. We will see a series of smaller-scale disturbances that will bring the occasional round of storms. I expect that we will see some strong to possibly severe storms next week, but it appears that any issues will be somewhat isolated. We will be able to pinpoint larger severe threats (if they become apparent) as higher detailed hi-res models begin to offer some guidance. Consequently, my level of weather worry next week is still 3 out of 10. If we have any issues, it will likely be from damaging winds. Above-normal rainfall still looks likely during the next week and a half. The Blend of Models continues to show that most of the ArkLaTex will see anywhere from two to over four inches of rain. The good news is that the clouds and rain will result in cooler daytime temperatures. Highs next week will mainly be in the mid to upper 80s. Overnight lows will remain in the lower 70s. Now that we are in hurricane season, expect to see updates in this article each day on any possible tropical issues that could be on the horizon. As of right now, there are no indications of impending tropical development during the next ten days in the Atlantic or Gulf of America. You may have heard about the Saharan dust impacting Florida. Some of this dust could arrive this weekend, but it should be less dense than it is right now. Stay tuned!Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Strong to SEVERE storms could return this weekend
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Rain will be limited for most of the ArkLaTex during the next several days. That could change for much of the area this weekend, as strong to possibly severe storms threaten the northern edge of the area starting Saturday night. Late this week, a large upper-level ridge will set up over the Lower Mississippi Valley. The northern part of the ArkLaTex will be on the northern edge of this ridge. This may allow for some storms to graze the northern edge of the area. As of right now, the Storm Prediction Center indicates that we will have a level 2 slight severe weather risk on Saturday night. Damaging winds will be our main concern if we see any severe weather. That risk will shift to the south on Sunday and possibly Monday. Yesterday, I put my level of worry at 3 out of 10. Given that there is decent model agreement that storms will impact our area Saturday night, I will raise my worry level to 4 out of 10 for the northern third of the area, mainly in NE TX, SW AR, and SE OK. Storms will remain possible through next week, but given inconsistencies from model to model in the long-range, I'd put my worry level at 3 out of 10 for the rest of the 10-day period. We will also see the potential for heavy rain in scattered locations. The latest runs of the models regarding rainfall potential are similar to yesterday's runs through the first half of next week. With the threat of rain expected to continue through most of next week, the Blend of Models shows that most of the ArkLaTex will see at least 2' of rain from now through next Friday. Note that since we will be dealing with a bunch of smaller-scale disturbances, we likely will see adjustments to future outlooks. Stay Tuned!!Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Louisiana Red Cross urges preparedness amid hurricane season
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — Hurricane season is now officially underway, and the Red Cross of Louisiana wants you to be prepared. Louisiana has reportedly been hit by a tropical storm or major hurricane 54 times since 1851, making it one of the most impacted states in the United States. The Red Cross is encouraging people to be prepared by planning to evacuate or shelter safely at home. Your evacuation plan should include knowing where to go, how to get there, and where to stay. The Red Cross says your stay-at-home plan should focus on gathering the right supplies to live safely without everyday resources. Karen McCoy, Executive Director of the Louisiana Red Cross, discussed the importance of planning during severe weather. 'Preparedness saves lives, and with more frequent and intense storms affecting Louisiana, we're calling on neighbors to get ready now — and to consider joining us in this lifesaving work. Whether you volunteer or donate, every action makes a difference,' said McCoy. Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30.
