Shreveport, La. – Thunderstorms and showers will linger across northern Louisiana today as a cold front edges south, dropping temperatures into the 70s for many areas north of Interstate 20. South of the boundary, residents in Natchitoches and Alexandria can still expect muggy mid- to upper-80s with higher humidity.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, storms will gradually push from northwest to southeast through the day, bringing widespread rain chances above 60% in cities like Jonesboro, Ruston, and Natchitoches. Severe weather risks have diminished, though gusty winds and heavy downpours may slow travel on I-20 and surrounding highways.
Communities across the ArkLaTex can expect scattered showers to taper later this evening as northeast winds strengthen behind the front. Drivers should use caution on wet roads, and outdoor plans may be impacted by off-and-on rainfall through tonight…
