The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for Sabine and Natchitoches parishes in NW LA until 7 pm. Thunderstorms have developed over the southern half of the ArkLaTex Sunday afternoon and will continue to move across this part of the area during the rest of the afternoon and early evening hours. Large hail and damaging wind will be the biggest threats mainly south of Interstate 20. A tornado or two will be a possibility mainly over southern Sabine and Natchitoches parishes.

Futurecast shows that the storms will exit our area Sunday evening and sunshine will return starting Monday. We could see a quick shot of showers and thunderstorms Monday night and then we will resume a quiet weather pattern until the end of the week.

The threat of severe weather will likely return to the ArkLaTex Friday. The Storm Prediction Center already has a slight severe weather risk out for our area. All severe weather threats including the chance of a few tornadoes will be possible.
