National Weather Service Shreveport LA 307 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Thursday Night) Issued at 144 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024 Upper-level ridging will begin to slide overhead tonight, with the apex of the ridge centering itself by tomorrow. This will allow for afternoon highs to skyrocket, with some locations reaching the mid to upper-80s into Friday. This ridge will also temporarily "shut off" rain chances for most of the region, with the best chances for showers and thunderstorms being in our far north zones, at the tip of the ridge. However, this ridge will not be long lived, as upper-level troughing is ramping up in full force to our west, setting the stage for a multi-day severe weather event in the long-term. /44/National Ag.
