Heavy rain & strong storms likely Tuesday night & Wednesday in Shreveport

Showers & thunderstorms will increase Tuesday night and Wednesday with heavy rain for parts of the area.  A few storms could become severe Wednesday afternoon.  The week ends with cooler temperatures & sunshine.  Much of next week is looking very soggy.

We will see a big range in temperatures over the ArkLaTex Wednesday thanks to the difference in the timing of rain.  Highs over the northwest where much of the day will be wet will be in the low to middle 60s.  Highs over the southeast where the rain will arrive much later will be in the 70s.  We won’t see much cooler temperatures Thursday behind the first of two fronts.  Highs will likely remain in the 60s and 70s.  Much cooler air will arrive behind a second cold front that will move through late Thursday.  The week will end with highs in the 50s Friday and Saturday.  Lows will dip into the upper 20s to lower 30s by Saturday morning.
