On Wednesday, November 4, a flash flood warning and a severe thunderstorm warning were both issued for Webster Parish around the same time. The flash flood warning sat right on the edge of Webster Parish and Bossier Parish. A weak, dry cold front passed through Webster Parish on Friday morning, November 6, around 6:45 a.m., bringing no rain with it.
The Webster Parish burn ban remains in effect. The Police Jury has approved extending the ban 30 more days starting November 17, provided the parish fire chiefs recommend continuing it.
Extended forecast: Each day is partly cloudy, with lows in the upper 50s to near 60°F and highs in the upper 60s to low 70s°F. There is a chance on Friday, November 13, we could see a low right at 32°F — freezing. No precipitation is expected during the upcoming week.
