This storm system is expected to arrive in northwest Louisiana Friday afternoon when we have a 60% chance of rain in the Shreveport Bossier metro area. A few of these storms could be severe. The chance of rain drops to 50% for Friday evening.

This storm system will sweep across the country from Kansas to Oklahoma and into Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. This system could bring heavy rains, large hail and high winds. An isolated tornado can not be ruled out.
