Uncomfortable weather with a few storms

SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - Happy Monday! The heat, humidity and rain chances continue in the ArkLaTex and I know we are beginning to sound like a broken record at this point, blame the weather as we are just the messenger. Rain chances are looking a little lower the rest of the week so expect to see fewer downpours than in recent days, but don’t pack up the umbrellas quite yet.

Areas of rain and storms will fade away through or shortly after midnight. Tonight, lows will eventually drop to the mid and upper-60s with partly cloudy skies.

It’s a rinse-and-repeat forecast for the rest of the week with highs each day in the low 90s along with that typical summer humidity. Spotty storms will develop each afternoon but these will be very hit & miss so many of us might stay dry throughout the week. Even though storms won’t be widespread, a few could still pack a punch with torrential rainfall and gusty wind being the primary threats.

Looking ahead to the weekend, it stays hot but the humidity will likely increase even more making for oppressive conditions. Scattered storms will continue to be in the forecast each afternoon. Long-range forecast charts indicate that we could really start to crank up the heat and humidity even more just beyond the seven-day forecast. Summer is here to stay!
