Rain chances increase for Labor Day Weekend

SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - Welcome to Labor Day Weekend! Rain chances look to increase as we go through the weekend because of a stationary front that is moving moisture from the Gulf into our area! Nonetheless, it will still be hot, but for the next couple of days rain chances will range from around 0-20% here in Shreveport.

Temperatures hit the triple digits in a few areas today with feels like temperatures in the triple digits as well across most areas in the ArkLaTex. A counter-clockwise flowing system will remain stationary over the area throughout the weekend allowing for convection to form in the afternoon and evening hours, which is why we still hold a 20% chance for rain here in Shreveport today despite the heat.

Since temperatures reached so high today and we are expecting similar conditions tomorrow, heat indexes may reach above 105 in some areas tomorrow and we could possibly see Heat Advisories return to the area. Please continue to refrain from the outdoor burning, even grilling can be hazardous to potential wildfires because of the dry air mixed with windy conditions. Have a good rest of your day!
