Heavy Rain Expected from Storm Francine in the ArkLaTex Midweek

Shreveport, La. – As the week progresses, residents in the ArkLaTex should brace for potentially heavy rain brought on by Storm Francine, which is currently swirling in the Gulf of Mexico. Weather forecasts indicate that the storm is poised to make landfall as a hurricane along the Louisiana coastline by midweek.

Current Weather Situation

Tonight, those in the ArkLaTex can enjoy a pleasant evening with clear skies and low humidity. Expect overnight lows to dip into the mid 50s for areas north of Interstate 30, while southern regions near Interstate 20 will feel relatively warmer, with temperatures in the low to mid 60s. It’s a perfect night to unwind before the weather shifts.

Upcoming Changes

However, things will begin to change on Tuesday as Francine inches closer to the coast. Residents can anticipate an increase in cloud cover, with scattered showers and storms moving in from the southeast throughout the evening. Temperatures will rise, with daytime highs nearing 90°F for some areas as humidity levels heighten. The storm’s influences will become more pronounced on Wednesday, especially after it makes landfall along the central Louisiana coast.

Expected Impact and Rainfall

As the storm progresses northeast through eastern Louisiana, the ArkLaTex will see an uptick in rainfall. Areas in the far eastern sections of the region are predicted to receive the greatest impacts, while parts of East Texas may be spared from significant rainfall. Meteorologists stress the importance of staying updated, as any slight shifts in the storm’s path could trigger changes in the forecast.

Looking Ahead

After the storm passes, skies will begin to clear quickly on Thursday, with Francine racing northeast. Following this, residents can look forward to some late summer warmth returning by the weekend, with temperatures climbing back into the low and mid 90s.

As this weather situation develops, it’s wise for everyone in the ArkLaTex to stay informed and prepared for any changes that may come their way. Enjoy your evening!
