Weekend Wx: Mainly dry Saturday & STORMY on Sunday
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – The weather this weekend across the ArkLaTex will begin with mainly dry weather on Saturday with some of the hottest temperatures of the year so far. Thunderstorms will increase over the area with a few waves Saturday and Sunday nights.
Hot and Humid Saturday: While a few showers will be possible over the northern edge of the area on Saturday, most of the area will see plenty of sunshine with plenty of heat and humidity. Lows Saturday morning will begin in the low to middle 70s. Daytime highs will likely soar into the upper 80s to lower 90s over the northern edge of the area to the middle 90s over East Texas and Northwest Louisiana.
Storms likely Saturday night & Sunday: Futurecast continues to show more thunderstorms developing to the northwest of the ArkLaTex late Saturday afternoon and evening. These storms will move into and through the area Saturday night and Sunday. Another, and possibly the strongest wave of storms, will move across the area on Sunday night and Monday morning. Our primary threat will be damaging winds and possibly some hail. An isolated tornado can't be ruled out.
The Storm Prediction Center indicates that we will have a level 1 to level 2 severe weather risk Saturday night. That risk will be highest over the northern half of the area. They also indicate that the marginal to slight risk will continue on Sunday and will once again be highest over the northern half of the area.
More storms next week: We will continue to see occasional waves of scattered storms in the ArkLaTex through ALL of next week. Given how warm and humid it will be, more severe weather will be possible. The Blend of Models now shows that 10-day rainfall potential in our area will be in the range of two to potentially over five inches. Overnight lows next week will remain above normal in the low to middle 70s. Daytime highs will be near normal and mainly in the 80s and low 90s. I will take a deeper dive into possible severe weather impacts in my Weather Worries article later this afternoon.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Strong, severe storms to bring large hail, high winds and heavy rain to North Texas this weekend
Happy Saturday! First Alerts are in effect starting Saturday evening through Monday due to the heat and storm chances. This weekend, highs will reach the mid-90s, but with all the moisture in the atmosphere, the heat index value will be in the triple digits. Be sure to drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks in the shade if you're planning on doing any vigorous outdoor activities. The heat and moisture at the surface combined with an upper-level northwesterly will allow for storms to move through North Texas Saturday night. By Sunday night, a cold front will initiate more storms that will continue into Monday. The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted a level 2 out of 5 threat for Saturday overnight and a level 3 out of 5 for Sunday night. Sunday's threat will be much more widespread, with the potential for a significant threat of severe weather. Large hail and damaging winds are the primary threats, but all modes will still be possible. As for the next week, the cold front stalls on Monday across central Texas. This will initiate more storms as well as cause an active forecast. Stay tuned for the latest forecast updates!

Wet start to the weekend in Maryland, Scattered Showers/Storms Possible
Welcome to the weekend! It was a wet start for some and a muggy start for all across the state. A few showers were tracking through northern areas around daybreak on Saturday. The morning features rain chances before wet weather begins to taper after noon. We still keep the risk of rain for the afternoon but it will be a much lower chance. Sunday brings its own rain and storm chance, too. Scattered showers and storms are expected through much of the day. A few showers are possible in your neighborhood to start the day. Around midday, the First Alert Weather team will be monitoring the potential for stronger storms and/or heavier rain to move into Maryland. Sunday afternoon brings a risk for severe weather back to the state. The Storm Prediction Center has us in a level 1 and 2 (out of 5) risk for severe weather on Sunday. The higher chance for those stronger storms will be in Central and Southern Maryland and for our Lower Eastern Shore neighborhoods. Storms may produce damaging winds, small hail and we also cannot rule out some rotation. We may also see some heavier pockets of rain as storms move through. Rain may remain to start Monday before a brief drying out and another risk for showers and storms on Tuesday. The middle and late parts of the upcoming week look much quieter (and drier!). Temperatures also appear to rise back closer to 90° as we approach the middle of the month.

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.
