Shreveport, LA – Severe thunderstorms are expected to move into parts of southeast Oklahoma, northeast Texas, and southwest Arkansas later today, bringing a risk of damaging winds, large hail, flash flooding, and possible tornadoes.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, storms developing northwest of the region will push into the Ark-La-Tex area over the next few hours, with the greatest threat window between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. CDT. Forecasters say warnings will likely be issued as conditions intensify.
The highest risk zone includes areas along and northwest of the Interstate 30 corridor, including cities such as Clarksville, Broken Bow, and Mount Pleasant. However, officials note that storms could extend farther south through the evening, impacting areas near Longview, Tyler, and Shreveport.
Hazards include large hail capable of damaging vehicles and property, strong wind gusts that could down trees and power lines, and localized flash flooding in low-lying areas. A tornado or two cannot be ruled out, with conditions supportive of brief but potentially strong development.
Drivers are urged to monitor conditions closely, especially during the evening commute, and be prepared for rapidly changing weather. Residents should have multiple ways to receive warnings and be ready to take shelter if alerts are issued.
