National Weather Service Shreveport LA
1257 AM CDT Wed Aug 20 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Showers and storms return to the fire districts tomorrow afternoon
as a cold front advances south to within the vicinity of the
region. Gusty winds, and even a potential for microbursts will
once again be a concern. RH percentages through the afternoon
will settle in the low and mid 40`s, with a similar look for
Thursday. Mixing heights near 5/6kft this afternoon will approach
6/7kft into Thursday. 20ft winds will start northerly, though
light, becoming more variable towards the afternoon, citing
additional influence from convection.
