SUMMARY: On April 24th, meteorologist Sammy Petraco reported ongoing scattered showers in Arkansas, with isolated rain in southeastern regions. Rainfall over the past 24 hours varied, with some areas receiving up to three inches while others saw minimal accumulation. Current temperatures are in the mid to upper 60s, with a humid environment expected throughout the week. Cloud cover persists, limiting sun exposure, and upper-level disturbances will continue to create scattered precipitation. Rain is likely tonight into Friday, with a cold front expected on Saturday potentially offering a brief reprieve. Daytime highs will be in the low to mid 80s.

Today, more showers and storms expected in a scattered fashion in the afternoon and evening hours. If the past days haven’t already shown it, but it’s hard to pinpoint where the rain will happen, but the chance for rain is there. Clouds continue over the region with highs ranging from the upper 70s to low 80s, depending on shower and storm activity. Severe weather stays limited with winds out of the south 5-10 mph

Tonight, staying relatively the same as previous nights. Showers and storms may linger into the night before fizzling out to the east/ northeast. Skies stay broken to overcast with lows staying pretty muggy in the mid to upper 60s. Winds are light and variable

An unsettled pattern continues as rain chances are likely to end this week. That said, they will probably occur in a scattered to isolated fashion. Some of the storms that do develop may be a bit noisy and produce heavy rainfall. There is the potential to see a break in the rain early next week before the unsettled pattern continues after that. Temperatures reside in the lower to upper 80s with overnight lows falling only in the 60s. Keep the rain gear handy

SUMMARY: Denka Performance Elastomer LLC in St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana, has suspended operations following a significant financial loss of over \$100 million in the recent fiscal year. The plant, located in “Cancer Alley,” has long faced controversy over its chloroprene emissions, which contributed to the closure of Fifth Ward Elementary School. The suspension is attributed to rising pollution control costs, declining production, and operational disruptions, including unscheduled outages and severe weather. Environmental group Rise St. James views this as a victory but stresses the need for full remediation and support for workers transitioning to safer industries.
