Shreveport, Louisiana – Severe thunderstorms are likely to affect multiple states this afternoon and evening, including parts of Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, and Northern Louisiana. The National Weather Service has issued warnings for damaging winds of 60+ mph and large hail, with the potential for isolated tornadoes.
According to the National Weather Service, the highest risk for severe storms stretches along and north of Interstate 30, with the greatest threats expected in areas like Texarkana, Longview, El Dorado, and Shreveport. These storms are expected to intensify through mid-afternoon and last into the night, with heavy rain making travel treacherous.
Strong winds and hail are the primary hazards, but flooding could also be a concern, especially in low-lying areas. Authorities are advising drivers to avoid unnecessary travel, as gusty winds may reduce visibility and hazardous road conditions could develop quickly.
Severe weather warnings remain in effect for several regions, and updates will be provided as the storm system progresses. Be prepared for further advisories or changes as the evening unfolds.
