Severe weather is possible today, Wednesday, May 8, 2024 in South Arkansas.
The National Weather Service in Shreveport said isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, some possibly severe, are expected to increase Wednesday afternoon and evening over East Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and Southeast Oklahoma.
The storms will be ahead of a weak cold front and associated upper level disturbance. Storms are expected to diminish late over northwest Louisiana. Hail, damaging wind, and the chance for a tornado or two will all be possible.
Additional showers and thunderstorms should redevelop Thursday afternoon and evening over the region near the slow moving front, with the severe weather threat again possible over these areas. This will diminish Thursday night as the front shifts south of the region.
