SUNSHINE here to stay!!

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Sunshine finally returned to the ArkLaTex on Monday.  It looks like we will settle into a sunny and eventually warmer weather pattern for the rest of the week.  Tuesday and Wednesday will get off to a rather cold start.

Tuesday Outlook:  Temperatures Tuesday morning will be well below normal for this time of year.  Usually, at the end of the first week of April, overnight lows are in the low 50s.  Temperatures on Tuesday morning will begin in the upper 30s to lower 40s. Despite the chilly start, we should see a nice warm-up during the day as high temperatures during the day will likely end up closer to normal in the low to middle 70s. 

Futurecast:  Now that the clouds have moved out, it could be a while before we see many of them again.  Futurecast shows that we will see a mostly clear sky on Monday night and lots of sunshine on Tuesday.  These quiet conditions will linger through the rest of this week and ALL of next week!

Your 10-day forecast looks dry and warmer!  We will probably see plenty of sunshine during the period with a few more clouds mixing in next week.   Daytime highs will return to the 80s by the middle of this week.  Highs will stay in the 80s through next week, although we could flirt with 90 degrees by the end of this weekend. Overnight lows will gradually warm into the 50s and 60s.
