With the start of the 2026-2027 severe weather season fast approaching, the National Weather Service has partnered with the Louisiana Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness to designate the week of October 12th through October 17th as Louisiana Severe Weather Awareness Week. This is a safety campaign designed to help residents in the State of Louisiana prepare for the upcoming severe weather season. Even if you don't live or work in Louisiana, this is a good time for people anywhere in the Four State Region of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas to learn about severe weather safety and review their severe weather safety plans. During this week, the National Weather Service will review the most important aspects of severe weather, and highlight safety rules. A special public information statement will be issued each day, along with various social media posts. Today’s topic is...Watches, Warnings, and Reception. Severe Thunderstorm Watches and Tornado Watches are issued by the Storm Prediction Center, when atmospheric conditions are favorable for the development of severe weather or tornadoes. Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and Tornado Warnings are issued by your Shreveport National Weather Service Forecast Office, when severe thunderstorms or tornadoes are imminent, either as indicated by Doppler radar, or when observed and reported by reliable sources such as Skywarn spotters. To protect yourself and your property from severe thunderstorms, it is important to stay abreast of the latest weather conditions. You can receive your Watches and Warnings through NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio from the National Weather Service, as well as monitoring television, radio, and the internet, including our social media pages, and the homepage of the National Weather Service. www.weather.gov/shv Our local National Weather Service Office is interested in your severe weather reports.
