Shreveport, LA – A line of storms that moved through the ArkLaTex region this evening is quickly clearing to the east, bringing relief from earlier severe weather concerns for much of Louisiana, East Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
According to the US National Weather Service in Shreveport, a cold front advancing through the Four-State Region around 7 p.m. CDT is pushing the bulk of storms out of the area. While the marginal severe weather threat is diminishing, lingering showers and drizzle are expected to continue behind the main line.
Radar imagery shows the heaviest rainfall now shifting into eastern portions of Louisiana and southern Arkansas, with conditions steadily improving west of Shreveport, including much of East Texas. Communities that experienced heavy rain and lightning earlier in the evening may now see calmer conditions develop through the late evening hours.
Drivers should remain cautious, however, as wet roads and reduced visibility may persist in areas still seeing light rain. Ponding on roadways and slick conditions could continue to impact travel, especially along major routes like I-20 and I-49.
Forecasters say the trailing moisture behind the front will take longer to fully clear, meaning cloudy skies and occasional drizzle could linger into the overnight period before conditions improve by early morning.
Residents across the region are encouraged to monitor local forecasts for updates as the system exits.
