National Weather Service Shreveport LA 947 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024 ...New UPDATE... .UPDATE... Issued at 938 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024 Quiet evening across the Four State as temperatures begin to drop into the lower 70's. A few light showers are present on the KSHV radar along a boundary cutting through southern Arkansas, but should not amount to much, and may not even be hitting the ground due to how light the reflectivity returns truly are. Beyond that, conditions remain tame. No major changes are needed with this update as the afternoon package remains on track. RK
