Good day, Shreveport! As we dive into this beautiful early December day, you’re likely to encounter some patchy fog, especially if you head out early. But don’t let that dampen your spirits! As the sun starts to make its way through the clouds later in the afternoon, we can expect a high of around 68°F. So, if you’re planning to step out, you might want to grab those sunglasses!
Winds are looking mild, blowing from the south at a nice, easygoing 5 to 10 mph. It’s the kind of day that’s perfect for a stroll in the park or grabbing a coffee with friends. Just keep in mind that as the evening rolls in, the skies will turn partly cloudy before settling into a snug blanket of cloud cover overnight. Seek your coziest spot as temperatures drop to around 50°F—perfect for curling up with a warm drink.
Meanwhile, in Ruston, things took a different turn with a fire that damaged several units at the Relax Inn. Emergency services were on the scene, working hard to control the situation. We hope those affected find shelter and support as they navigate the aftermath.
On a lighter note, over at Southern Arkansas University, a group of 48 faculty and staff members are hitting the slopes on a ski trip in Winter Park, CO. That sounds like an absolute blast! With the holiday season approaching, who doesn’t love a little escape to enjoy some crisp mountain air and fresh powder?
We also extend our thoughts to the family of Ronie Fenski, a 61-year-old resident of Hot Springs who tragically lost his life in a wreck on U.S. 270. Life can change in an instant, and we send our deepest condolences to all affected by this heartbreaking event.
Additionally, if you’ve noticed some significant flooding lately, you’re not imagining things! Areas in SE Texas have been experiencing rising waters in rivers and streams. It’s important to stay informed and take precautions if you’re in those affected areas.
In other news, interesting developments are happening on the judicial front, with a federal court trial set to start on Monday regarding a Barksdale Airman accused of a serious crime during a deployment last March. The details are sure to keep the community on its toes.
Lastly, for those interested in local governance, the Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System is preparing to interview three final candidates for the executive director position. Change is in the air, and it’s always exciting to see who will step into important roles in our state!
So there you have it, Shreveport! Stay safe in these foggy patches, keep your spirits high as the sun gleams through the clouds, and remember to look out for one another. It’s a whirlwind of a day, but that’s what makes our city so vibrant!
