Dry for most on Tuesday.  Storms return Wednesday evening.

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – The dry weather that most of the ArkLaTex experienced this weekend and Monday will continue for most of the area on Tuesday.  Most of the area will stay dry during the day on Wednesday, with storms increasing Wednesday evening & Wednesday night.

A warm & humid Tuesday:  Despite lots of clouds over the ArkLaTex on Tuesday, temperatures will stay rather warm.  The day will begin with lows in the mid to upper 60s.  Expect daytime highs to return to the upper 80s. Both are nearly ten degrees above normal for this time of year. 

Lots of clouds but little rain until late Wednesday:  Futurecast shows that we will see a mostly cloudy sky on Monday night and that most of the ArkLaTex will stay dry on Tuesday with plenty of clouds.  The cloudy and mainly dry weather will continue on Tuesday night and most of Wednesday.  Very late Wednesday afternoon or Wednesday evening, we will see an increasing threat of scattered thunderstorms, a few of which could be strong to severe.  I will take a deep dive into our possible threats in my ‘weather worries’ article.

Long-range outlook: The 10-day forecast is not a good one if you like sunshine.  Some models indicate that once the rain returns late on Wednesday, it could continue on and off through this weekend and most of next week.  This week’s most active weather days will likely be on Wednesday evening, Thursday, late Friday, and again on Sunday.  We likely won’t see many changes in temperatures. Highs most days will be in the 80s.  Lows most nights will be in the 60s.
