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.

June rolls in with heat and scattered thunderstorms
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – We opened the weekend with fantastic sunny and dry weather on Saturday. Sunday will bring a slight chance of thunderstorms, and the scattered storms will return during a hot and humid first week of June. We will enjoy one more night of cool temperatures in the low 60s Saturday night into Sunday morning. We will be clear through midnight, but scattered storms will be moving across Oklahoma overnight, arriving on the doorstep of the I-30 corridor by sunrise. Severe weather is unlikely, but a few rain showers may hold together as far south as northeast Texas. Most of Sunday will be dry for the rest of the ArkLaTex, with an increase in clouds leaving us partly to mostly cloudy throughout the day. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s, with some mugginess returning with the arrival of rain. A few isolated thunderstorms are possible anywhere Sunday afternoon, especially in east Texas. Monday and Tuesday will likely be dry with temperatures rising into the low 90s, where highs will stay for most of the week. A slight chance of rain and thunderstorms will return midweek as a front passes north of the region. This front will approach later in the week, bringing a slightly higher chance of scattered storms Thursday through Saturday. Rainfall will average around 1 to 1.5 inches in Arkansas and Oklahoma over the next 7 days, tapering to a half inch or less further south into Texas and Louisiana. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

T'storm threat returns late Sunday!
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – If you like sunshine, enjoy the rest of this week. It appears that we will settle back into an on-and-off stormy weather pattern starting late on Sunday. Severe weather can't be ruled out. We will see a break from the high humidity over the next few days. Moisture will begin to return from the Gulf later this week and will be waiting for a series of small disturbances that will use it to produce scattered storms. The Storm Prediction Center indicates that the severe weather risk is too low and uncertain to pinpoint where any severe risk will occur. Current model information shows that we will have the potential for some strong storms late on Sunday. We will also see an increase in upper-level support late next week. If we are going to see any severe weather, that will probably be the likely time frame. Given the uncertainty, I'd put my level of worry for severe weather at 3 on a 10 scale. After several days of dry weather this week, we will see the opposite next week. The Blend of Models is now showing that all of the ArkLaTex could see over two inches of rain next week. That is about double what we typically get in a week at the end of May. Enjoy the sunshine while you can!Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

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 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Strong storms possible Thursday, Staying soggy through the weekend
Unsettled weather continues across Central Alabama through the weekend. An upper-level low will stall over the ArkLaTex, placing Alabama on the east side and sending upper-level waves across the state. Each wave will trigger daily rounds of scattered showers and storms. Some days, the rain could be heavy, adding 1-2+ inches, which may lead to flooding issues, especially in western and southwestern Alabama. There is also a chance for strong to low-end severe storms. Tonight, clouds, light rain showers, and patchy dense fog will impact the viewing area. Lows will range from the upper 50s to the lower 60s, with visibility potentially dropping to less than 1 mile. Thursday will be partly cloudy, warmer, and humid, with afternoon and evening scattered showers and storms. SPC has placed all of Central Alabama in a Level 1/5 Marginal Risk for severe storms. The threat is very low, but a storm or two could bring gusty winds and hail. High temperatures will reach the upper 70s to lower 80s. Patchy dense fog is expected Thursday night into Friday morning. More scattered storms are forecast for Friday, with a few possibly being strong and containing heavy rain. High temperatures will be in the upper 70s. Mother's Day Weekend Outlook: The upper-level low will remain stalled west of Alabama, which means more rain for the weekend. Saturday and Sunday will see a chance for scattered showers and storms. However, it will not be a washout, and many areas may remain dry. High temperatures will be in the lower to middle 70s. Plan for some rain on Mother's Day, so bring an umbrella if you are headed to brunch.
