SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chase Ward reports severe thunderstorms are moving through Eastern Texas and Oklahoma, with a new weather warning issued west of Texarkana. The storms are expected to reach the Arklamiss region around 11 AM, bringing potential high winds (up to 32 mph) and the possibility of rotating storms. While no tornado watches are in effect for the area, caution is advised on roadways due to windy conditions. Expect temperatures in the 60s with a high of 73 later today. After the storms pass by tonight, clear skies are predicted, with highs returning to the 70s by the following week.

A warm front has moved to the northeast this morning. Winds have picked up out of the southeast. A cold front will approach the ArkLaMiss around lunchtime. A strong line of t-storms will form where high winds and potential tornadoes will be possible. This threat for severe weather will continue through at least 5-6pm this evening. By late tonight, the cold front will move across MS and AL out of our area while skies clear. Winds will still be a bit breezy through tomorrow as sunshine returns. Clouds increase late this week with another round of showers and thunderstorms on Saturday.

Funding remains unresolved, with Councilman Andy Naquin proposing an Economic Development District (EDD) to impose an extra sales tax on businesses in the area. Mayor-President Monique Boulet agreed to explore the EDD but emphasized the need for more analysis and stakeholder input. Though controversial, especially among businesses, EDDs could support infrastructure upgrades, with Johnston Street receiving \$5 million in initial state funding. Naquin hopes to finalize EDD boundaries by year’s end, framing it as a potential public-private partnership.
