Warm, humid weather in the 80s continues Thursday afternoon

Abnormal December warmth and humidity continues for now, but a pattern shift is on the horizon. Shower chances increase over the weekend, with our first of two fronts set to bring us unsettled weather mostly overnight Saturday into Sunday. A stronger front looks to arrive early next week and the Ark-La-Tex is already flagged for the possibility for severe weather. We'll be closely monitoring for the potential for a few stronger storms locally, followed by a dramatic cool-down.
