SUMMARY: The Louisiana Bond Commission has delayed a charter vote for Bossier City due to the city council’s refusal to implement retroactive term limits. After years of disputes, the council proposed a new charter for prospective term limits, which would not affect current office holders. The Bond Commission decided to wait for a court ruling on the constitutionality of retroactive limits, as the Bossier City Term Limits Coalition advocates for them. The coalition criticized the council for not sharing charter provisions publicly and claimed they were sidelined by the council’s actions, which led the commission to side with the coalition.

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chase Ward reports clear skies and calm winds across Louisiana, resulting in cooler temperatures in the 40s and 50s today. As the day progresses, temperatures are expected to warm into the lower 80s, remaining comfortable due to low dew points. No rain is anticipated, leading to dry conditions and burn bans in effect for South Arkansas and Union Parish. A high-pressure system will reinforce cooler air, bringing nighttime temperatures in the 40s. While two disturbances in the tropics warrant attention, short-term forecasts show no significant weather changes ahead, with fall-like temperatures expected throughout the week.

Temperatures have really cooled down this morning thanks to clear skies and calmer winds. Skies will stay clear as we warm back to lower 80’s this afternoon. A brief disturbance will move near the ArkLaTex today, but no rain is anticipated for our area as a surface low pressure remains to far west. High pressure will settle in behind it and reinforce the cooler and drier air by tomorrow. This cool down will last up until the weekend. Overall, we will stay dry over the weekend with little to no rain chances in the 6-10 day outlook into next week.
