It’s a quiet weather day across the ArkLaTex. As of about 5:35 a.m. CST Monday, no watches, warnings or advisories were in effect for our area. The only active alerts in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma were for South and West Texas, according to the National Weather Service alerts feed. The Storm Prediction Center’s Day 1 outlook forecasts no severe thunderstorm areas anywhere in the country today.
The one thing to watch this morning is patchy fog, mainly before 9 a.m. Give yourself a little extra room on the road until it lifts.

Cold front Thursday
The NWS Shreveport forecast discussion says a stronger cold front arrives Thursday. Northwest winds reach the I-30 corridor overnight Wednesday and turn gusty across most of the area by lunchtime Thursday. Highs drop into the low to mid 60s Friday and Saturday. Lows Friday night fall into the 30s, from about 33 in El Dorado to 38 in Longview, and the discussion says a light freeze is possible in at least parts of south Arkansas at daybreak Saturday. A freeze is not expected west of I-49.
Rain stays out of the picture this week. The discussion notes the drought is still hanging on, though the Climate Prediction Center’s 8 to 14 day outlook has started leaning toward above average rain for western Louisiana.
Forecasts from the National Weather Service in Shreveport, which covers all five cities above, checked about 5:35 a.m. Monday.
