Dry for most, but for how long?
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Much of the ArkLaTex received over two inches of rain on Tuesday. Wednesday has been a mainly dry day for most of the ArkLaTex. The big question is, how long will it last?
Futurecast outlook for the next 36 hours
Could we stay dry on Thursday? Most hi-res models show that the answer will probably be yes! Futurecast shows that we will see a mostly cloudy sky on Wednesday night with a very small chance for a spotty shower. It shows that we will continue to see lots of clouds with a few peeks of sunshine on Thursday. It is possible that we could see a few isolated showers or thunderstorms over the eastern quarter of the area, but that chance is looking very low. Other models, including the morning run of the HRRR, show that the entire area will stay dry on Thursday. That will not be the case on Friday. The main upper-level disturbance will be to the east of our area, and we will likely see some scattered t'showers move through much of the area. This rain will decrease Friday night and Saturday, with some sunshine returning late Saturday. Rainfall totals will probably be 1/10'.
Tomorrow's Forecast
Thursday temperatures: We likely won't see much change in temperatures on Thursday. Lows will likely be in the mid to upper 50s over the northern half of the area and the low to middle 60s over the south. Daytime highs will remain in the mid to upper 70s over the north and the low to middle 80s over the south.
10-Day Forecast for Shreveport
Ready for some heat and humidity? Once any leftover rain moves out of the area on Saturday, we will settle into a dry weather pattern that could last for nearly two weeks. Temperatures will begin the period with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s. We will see a warming trend next week. Highs will end up in the low 90s by the end of the week. Lows will warm close to 70. Once the heat and humidity settle in, they will stick around through next weekend and probably all of next week. Hello summer!

Thursday weather: Storms with heavy rain again possible
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Showers and thunderstorms returned to most of the ArkLaTex on Wednesday with some locally heavy rain. Expect much of the same on Thursday with daytime temperatures that will be below normal for this time of year. Thursday rain timing: Hi-res models, including Futurecast, show that we will likely see the rain impacting the ArkLaTex on decrease and gradually end on Wednesday night. Our next round of showers and thunderstorms will move into the area Thursday morning and move across the area during the day. A few of the storms could be strong with some gusty winds. SPC indicates that we will see a level 1 marginal severe risk. If we have any severe weather issues, damaging winds will be the main concern. Flooding will likely be a bigger concern as hi-res models are suggesting that parts of the area could see four to over SIX inches of rain! Thursday temperatures: Models indicate that the expected showers and thunderstorms on Thursday will arrive a bit earlier in the day. Consequently, temperatures will likely not have as much time to warm up. Lows will begin in the 60s and low 70s. Daytime highs will only warm into the low to middle 80s. Rest of the week: The chance of showers and thunderstorms will decrease a little on Friday and this weekend as the main upper-level disturbance moves into the middle of the country. Temperatures will begin to warm back up. Daytime highs will return to the lower 90s by the end of the weekend and the middle 90s by the middle of next week. Overnight lows will remain in the 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Wx Worries: Keep an eye on the rain gauge
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – There is some good news and some bad news in our weather for the rest of the week. The bad news is that we will see numerous rounds of scattered thunderstorms during the next several days. The good news is that the threat of severe weather will remain low, although we may have to worry about flooding in a few spots. Severe weather worries? A fairly weak upper-level disturbance will be easing through the southern plains during the next several days and will take advantage of some very warm and moist air to squeeze out occasional rounds of thunderstorms. While a few storms could be rather strong, any severe weather issues will be isolated at best. Our main worry this week could become flash flooding in some of the heavier downpours of rain. The morning run of the HRRR model shows that we could see scattered areas that pick up two to four inches of rain from now through Wednesday night. With the lack of any obvious signs of a more organized severe weather threat, I will keep my level of severe weather concern at 3. That basically means that the risk of severe weather is very low, but it is not zero. The 7-day rainfall potential from the Weather Prediction Center shows that most of the area will see 2 to 3' of rain during the next week. This is what you should expect to see. Again, hi-res models show that parts of our area could get that amount and more just in the next 36 hours, so don't be shocked if you get much more. Any Tropical worries? Today's 7-day outlook from the National Hurricane Center still indicates that we will likely not see any tropical development in the Atlantic Basin during the next week. Long-range models continue to show that the tropics could stay quiet for the next two weeks. There is still quite a bit of Saharan dust moving across the Atlantic. Models show that it's doubtful that much of this will make it to the ArkLaTex during the next 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Wx Worries: Timing of strongest storms this weekend
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Thunderstorms will return to the ArkLaTex this weekend. Futurecast indicates two main waves of storms. One on Saturday night & Sunday morning, and a second Sunday night into Monday. Sunday night's storms could be the strongest. After a dry day over most of the ArkLatex on Saturday. Scattered storms will move across mainly the northeast half of the area Saturday night. While SPC indicates that we have a slight severe weather risk, hi-res models indicate that we could see the storms remain slightly below severe limits with wind gusts of 30 to 50 mph. Some hail will also be possible. Tornadoes are looking doubtful Saturday night. These storms will likely weaken as they move across NW Louisiana late Saturday night into Sunday morning. Several hi-res models are indicating that we will see a complex of storms develop over NW Texas Saturday afternoon. These storms will likely move into the ArkLaTex sometime late Sunday night. Futurecast indicates that this wave of storms could be stronger and could bring a damaging wind threat as they move across mainly E & NE Texas and NW Louisiana late Sunday night into Monday morning. SPC again has our area's severe storm risk at level 2 or slight. That means any severe weather issues should be somewhat scattered. Based on current information, I'd put my level of worry for Saturday night's storms at 3 out of 10 and 4 out of 10 for the possibly stronger storms late Sunday night into Monday. The threat of scattered storms will likely continue through at least next Friday. The latest run of the Blend of Models shows a big variation in rainfall potential with amounts ranging from around 1.5' over the southern part of the area to over 5' over the NW part of the ArkLaTex. Any Tropical worries? The National Hurricane Center indicates that we will likely not see any tropical development in the Atlantic Basin during the next week. Long-range models show that the tropics could stay quiet for the next two weeks. You might notice a bit of a haze in the air this weekend as some dust from the Saharan Desert moves over the 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
