Breezy and much warmer today

SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - Temperatures are warming up quickly out there now and with some sunshine at times this afternoon, most places will warm well into the 70s. It will also be breezy at times with a south wind at 10-20 mph. We could see a few showers developing this afternoon so bring the rain gear if you’re heading to the big MLK parade in Shreveport.

A few showers will remain possible tonight but overall it will just be a warm and breezy night with lows near 60.

Even warmer air arrives Tuesday along with more sunshine with temperatures climbing into the mid and upper 70s regionwide.

By midweek, a strong cold front will approach from the west and this will bring widespread showers and storms. There will be the potential of severe weather and flash flooding with this system so this is the day to stay weather aware.

Behind the front, much cooler air will arrive for Thursday and Friday with highs in the 50s and low 60s.

Another system will likely arrive for next weekend bringing widespread showers and even cooler temperatures.

Have a great afternoon!
