Relief has finally reached the ArkLaTex!!

SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - Happy Sunday! We broke another daily record high today in Shreveport! Storms have moved down to around the I-20 corridor and are bringing some hefty rainfall as well as wind gusts up to 50 mph to the region. We are expecting a wave of storms to move through the region tonight from west to east presenting some more rainfall for the region.

The high pressure system continues to move westward allowing for more instability and increased rain chances. However, these rain chances will most likely last for only tonight into tomorrow morning as they will bring our temperatures down into the 90′s for the remainder of the work week. Temperatures overnight starting tonight will be in the mid-70′s then decrease throughout the 60′s as we move throughout the week.

Cooler days are coming back to the ArkLaTex as we wrap up the month of August. We have had only a trace of rain recorded in Shreveport all month, putting us on track for the driest August of all time in Shreveport. However, this cold front moving through tonight has another plan for us to finally see and feel some relief for the region. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
