Our NWS Shreveport Center has issued an early statement of a severe weather pattern developing based of the advice of the Storm Prediction Center view of its early rapid development.

 

The threat of severe weather will return to the Shreveport Region later this week & on through the first half of the weekend. 

 

 

A powerful storm system will shift East from the Rockies on Friday with a strong cold front tracking into our Deep East Texas Area (graphic below) by Friday evening into Saturday morning.   Storms may develop during the afternoon on Friday, but the timing of greatest threat for severe storms appears to be during the evening and overnight hours from Friday night through early Saturday morning.    

 

 

Impacts:  Damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes all appear to be possible threats at this time. Additional impacts include heavy rainfall and flash flooding with widespread 1-2 inches of rainfall and isolated higher amounts possible.
