Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest Arkansas...
Northwest Louisiana...East Texas...and Extreme Southeast Oklahoma
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
542 AM CDT Wed Jul 17 2024

.DISCUSSION...

One more hot day is expected today with high pressure aloft still
influencing our weather across the region. However, a major pattern
shift is expected by this evening and overnight with a deep trough
helping to usher a cold front into the area. This cold front will
be the catalyst for increasing showers and thunderstorms through
the remainder of this week as it slowly advances southward across
our fire districts before struggling to exit the region. Therefore,
unsettled weather is likely to extend into the weekend as the cold
front becomes stationary across the region.
