Louisiana and northeast Texas.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.

Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.gov on the

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

The potential for strong to severe thunderstorms will persist
through Wednesday and Wednesday night as the frontal boundary is
expected to remain nearly stationary and linger across the region.
Damaging wind gusts and large hail will remain possible. An isolated
tornado also cannot be ruled out.

By late week and through the weekend, thunderstorm chances will
decrease while temperatures increase into the mid and upper 90s to
near 100 degrees with heat advisory conditions possible.
