Arctic air and a piercing winds will continue the arctic weather today in Shreveport and the ArkLaTex.

According to our weather partners at KTAL NBC 6, No snow but the sun will shine down today: In addition to the very cold air it is desert dry outside and that will bring the sun out today. A few high-altitude cirrus clouds will pass through making it partly cloudy at times. While it is cold enough for snow, the lack of moisture in the air means no precipitation today.

The National Weather Service has extended the Hard Freeze Warning until noon Saturday: Low temperatures will dip into the teens tonight. We will likely warm a few degrees above freezing (32°) Saturday afternoon. Make sure you keep the outdoor pipes, faucets, and plants covered today. The wind will much lighter this weekend, but we will still have a slight wind chill to the temperatures through Christmas Day.
