National Weather Service Shreveport LA 642 PM CDT Wed May 8 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Thursday Night) Issued at 339 PM CDT Wed May 8 2024 Active weather will continue across the Four State Region through the rest of the week. A slow-moving frontal boundary will keep the atmosphere disturbed (and environmentally conducive) enough to instigate multiple rounds of severe weather in the next 48 hours, including tonight and tomorrow afternoon/evening. Severe thunderstorms will produce risks predominantly for large hail and damaging winds, but a few tornadoes cannot be ruled out. As of 3:15 PM, SPC has issued downstream Tornado Watches into the ArkLaTex accordingly through 10 PM. Otherwise, temperatures will remain above average with maximums in the lower 90s/lower 70s. /16/
