Wx Worries:  Minus a few isolated t’storms..few worries

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Rain has been rather limited across the ArkLaTex on Friday.  It appears that this will remain the case this weekend and next week. 

Severe weather & flood worries? The ArkLaTex will be under the influence of a weakness in the upper-level high pressure that extends across the southern half of the country.  This will allow at least a chance of a few isolated to scattered thunderstorms to continue through the weekend into the beginning of next week. Severe weather is looking unlikely during the next ten days.

Worry level 2: Since we do have a chance for a few scattered showers and thunderstorms during the next few days, and it’s looking doubtful that they will pose much of a risk of severe weather or flooding, I’m keeping my level of weather worry at 2 out of 10. 

Tropical Weather Worries?  The National Hurricane Center continues to show that tropical development in the Atlantic and Gulf is doubtful during the next week.  Long-range models still show that the tropics could be quiet through the rest of June.
