LARGE HAIL again possible late Saturday!
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – It appears that we could see another round of scattered strong to severe storms late Saturday and Saturday evening. The risks on Saturday will be very similar to today's risks. Very large hail will be possible.
The Storm Prediction Center indicates that we will have a slight severe weather risk over mainly the northern half of the area. Above is a loop of tomorrow's SPC forecasts. You will notice that there is a chance of seeing up to 2' hail. The tornado risk with Saturday's storms is looking very low.
Futurecast shows the storms developing to the west of the ArkLaTex Saturday afternoon. They will move through mainly the northern half of the area during the evening, and will probably begin to weaken after sunset. The severe weather threat will likely end before midnight.
Rain will be limited over much of the area, and it's possible that some locations stay dry from now through Saturday night. On the other hand, hi-res models show that we will likely see scattered locations receive one to over two inches of rain. We will take a break from the threat of storms over most of the area on Sunday and Monday. A cold front will bring another severe weather threat on Tuesday.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Watch: Supercell cuts path through 2 states producing tornadoes live on FOX Weather
LUBBOCK, Texas – A powerful supercell thunderstorm trekked across eastern New Mexico and West Texas on Thursday, producing tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds and flash flooding. The storm traveled more than 80 miles, producing its first tornadoes around Causey, New Mexico, and not giving up before reaching Lubbock, Texas, during the evening hours, where most of the impacts were felt. The thunderstorm was one of several that developed across the Southern Plains, where the Storm Prediction Center had issued Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Watches earlier in the day. Despite the potential for showers and thunderstorms across much of the Lower 48, the most dangerous activity was centered over the Plains and West Texas. Phoenix Has Already Hit 100 Degrees. What Does This Early Heat Mean For Summer? The supercell that storm chasers had their eye on was able to break through the atmospheric cap and produce its first tornado not far from the New Mexico-Texas line. FOX Weather Exclusive Storm Tracker Brandon Copic was able to take video of the cell, which produced a rope-like, dusty twister out in what many would proverbially call 'the middle of nowhere.' Outside of possibly a small outhouse or a utility line, no damage was reported in much of eastern New Mexico, but the storm wasn't done. As it moved into West Texas, atmospheric conditions allowed the cell to grow in size and intensity, ultimately producing what may have been the strongest tornado of the event. Video captured dust and anything not bolted down in the rural countryside being picked up by the wedge-shaped vortex. Fortunately, again, much of the track of the storm remained over sparsely populated areas, but its sheer size did not prevent the National Weather Service from issuing warnings with headlines such as "Particularly Dangerous Situation." Despite the storm's longevity, the supercell didn't conclude after impacting areas around the town of Morton and still had the largest city in its path – Lubbock, Texas - which is about 50 miles away. "I've been watching this storm since I got into work several hours ago… People were posting videos of tornadoes that it was producing, and it's been just moving ever so slowly from west to east, and unfortunately it's got a bullseye right on Lubbock right now," FOX Weather meteorologist Ari Sarsalari said while tracking the supercell. As the tornado approached the region of more than 250,000 residents, it became rain-wrapped, causing additional dangers, as vortexes are more difficult to track when obscured. At one point, residents in the area reported twin tornadoes, in addition to damaging hail, hurricane-force wind gusts and flooding rains. At Texas Tech University, students were urged to seek shelter and stay away from windows as the storm approached campus. The combination of hail and heavy rainfall triggered dangerous flash flooding, with some roads turning into streams and rivers. Videos from traffic cameras showed vehicles wading through deep water – situations that forecasters always warn can be deadly and drivers should try to avoid. Search and rescue crews worked late into Thursday night to assist stranded drivers and search for potential storm victims, but emergency managers only reported one injury as of Thursday evening. Several structures appeared to have significant damage from either a tornado or straight-line winds that were estimated to have been in excess of 80 mph and thousands were without power. How To Watch Fox Weather Following the damage in Lubbock, the cell appeared to stop producing tornadoes, but it remained a dangerous storm, with the potential of softball-sized hail and gusty winds into the heart of the Lone Star State. The cell was still heading eastward as of late Thursday evening; however, it appeared the worst of the weather would spare the city of Abilene and stay north of Interstate article source: Watch: Supercell cuts path through 2 states producing tornadoes live on FOX Weather

Humid Nights and Stormy Start to the Weekend Across Maryland
A humid and unsettled weather pattern will continue across Maryland heading into the weekend, with multiple chances for rain and thunderstorms before a stretch of drier weather returns next week. Overnight: Skies will remain partly cloudy Thursday night, with warm and humid conditions persisting. Overnight lows will struggle to fall much below the mid-60s, particularly in urban areas and along the I-95 corridor. Patchy fog may develop in some of the more rural valleys by early morning, but no significant rain is expected overnight. Friday Forecast: Friday will bring another warm and muggy day. Highs will climb well into the 80s across much of central Maryland, with the highest readings likely in areas east of I-95 where sunshine breaks through more frequently. Skies will be partly cloudy for much of the day, and while most of the region remains dry through the morning and early afternoon, a chance for scattered thunderstorms will develop later in the day — mainly west of I-95. The Storm Prediction Center has placed areas west of a Westminster-to-Frederick line under a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for severe weather. The primary threats will be isolated damaging wind gusts and heavy downpours. Any storms that do develop will be most likely between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. Friday Night into Saturday: A more organized batch of showers and storms is expected to move through the region overnight Friday into early Saturday morning as a weak front slides through. Rain could be locally heavy in some spots, especially before sunrise on Saturday. Lows will dip back into the mid to upper 60s overnight. By Saturday, skies will gradually begin to clear from west to east, though scattered showers may linger into the late morning. The best chance for rain will be in the morning hours, followed by drier conditions later in the day. Temperatures will be a touch cooler due to cloud cover and rain-cooled air, with highs hovering near 80 degrees. Sunday into Early Next Week: Unsettled weather continues into Sunday, with additional chances for scattered showers and storms. Highs will be a bit cooler in the low to mid-70s thanks to thicker cloud cover. Monday will bring a brief warm-up, with highs climbing back into the 80s under partly sunny skies. Another round of scattered storms is possible, especially during the afternoon and evening. Storm chances increase again on Tuesday as another disturbance moves through the Mid-Atlantic. Temperatures will once again reach into the 80s with humid conditions. Looking Ahead: By Wednesday, a more stable pattern finally settles in. Sunshine returns midweek with daytime highs staying in the 80s and overnight lows comfortably in the 60s. This dry and pleasant weather is expected to continue through at least Friday.

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.
