Mardi Gras weather: Pretty much PERFECT..so far
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – A very pleasant weather pattern is settling into the ArkLaTex today and it will likely stick around through next weekend. That is great news for what is going to be a very busy Mardi Gras weekend.
Krewe of Gemini? The Mardi Gras festivities begin on Saturday with the Krewe of Gemini parade. I'd expect to see plenty of sunshine with afternoon temperatures in the 70s. We could see temperatures ease into the upper 60s after sunset.
Krewe of Highland? The weather will also cooperate for this Sunday's Krewe of Highland parade, although it will be a little bit cooler. Expect a partly cloudy sky next Sunday afternoon with temperatures in the low 70s. Models are still indicating a little rain will be possible this Sunday night, so keep that on the radar in case this disturbance arrives a little sooner.
10-Day Forecast: Your 10-day forecast shows that the pleasant temperatures will likely stick around through all of this week. Daytime highs will likely remain in the 70s. Overnight lows will mainly be in the 40s and 50s. Don't expect much rain. Our only chance will be a slight chance on Wednesday night. Our next best chance of rain will return next Sunday night and could last on and off through next Tuesday. Temperatures will cool slightly into the 60s for highs during the first half of next week. Overnight lows next week will mainly be in the 40s.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

The flooding rains come following several hours of constant rain bands. Saint Martin Parish President Pete Delcambre told News 10 many areas saw road closures due to high water. 'We had an inundation of rain that just continued on this band, and it gave four inches, six inches, and up to eight inches, I was seeing in some areas that just can't handle that amount of water,' said Delcambre. With high water on roadways, this forced many drivers to turn around. News 10 spoke with one driver, Carey Lewis, who said he hopes officials will fix the drainage issues in the parish.

Storms and muggy for Father's Day Weekend
COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL)- We are tracking storms moving into the region this evening. One or two could be strong, but the best chance for severe weather remains to our west. Saturday: Storms will enter the forecast again tomorrow. The rain will move in a little quicker than today, just after midday. Any storm that develop could bring heavy rainfall. Father's Day: Scattered storms remain in the First Alert Forecast for Father's Day afternoon. Temperatures will sit in the lower 90s, but feel-like readings will reach into the upper 90s. Next Week: We have one more day of high rain chances on Monday, and then the area slowly begins to dry out. There will still be a chance for rain each afternoon, but widespread showers are not expected next week. This is thanks to an area of high pressure building over the East Coast. Despite the calmer weather, we will still be tracking hot and humid conditions. Afternoon highs will sit in the lower 90s, but heat index readings will be close to 100 degrees all next week.
