Slight rain chances heading into Labor Day

SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - Happy Sunday! We are still under this low-pressure system that is moving humidity into our area from the Gulf of Mexico. This is what is causing our rain chances to rise and afternoon showers/thunderstorms to commence. However, temperatures will still be high in the mid-to-upper 90′s around the ArkLaTex with no signs of a cool-off throughout the work week.

The last bit of this system has brought more convection mainly to east Texas near Mount Pleasant and has now moved to the Texarkana area bringing threats of gusty winds and pea sized hail. These storms range from De Queen down to just south of Texarkana. Once it moves out, it will only feel hotter from there as temperatures look to rise back into the triple digits with feels like temperatures reaching near or above Heat Advisory level, so get ready for more heat on the way. Tonight remains calm and dry with lows in the mid 70′s.

The summer of 2023 was already one of the hottest summers on record here in Shreveport and it looks to continue being hot into September. Rain chances start to become slim to none as we go through the week, but it will still be hot so bring your umbrellas just in case today and tomorrow because some isolated showers may hit your area.
