The ArkLaTex sky,
on the air 24/7.
ArkLaTex Weather Live is an independent, automated weather channel on YouTube — and a custom weather platform — built for one place: the corner of the map where Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas meet. Live radar, warnings and forecasts, running around the clock.
Live when the sky demands it — and every hour in between.
The channel runs a continuous, automated broadcast — radar, warnings and forecasts, around the clock. When severe weather moves in, it turns toward it on its own. This is where it lives.

One machine, watching everything at once.
Everything below runs as a single automated pipeline — one feed, rotating through what matters most right now, on the channel and in the app behind it.
Live radar
Animated reflectivity across the region, updating as fast as the data arrives.
Storm velocity
Rotation and wind signatures inside active storms — the part radar apps skip.
Satellite
The view from space — visible, infrared and water vapor — with the radar loop on top.
Warnings
Tornado, severe thunderstorm and flood warnings drawn as issued — plus watches and mesoscale discussions.
Storm reports
Hail, wind and damage reports from across the ArkLaTex, plotted as they come in.
Rainfall & flooding
Storm totals on the wet days, flash-flood outlooks ahead of them, and river gauges as water rises.
Drought
The U.S. Drought Monitor through the long dry stretches.
Fire weather
Outlooks for the days when wind and dry ground line up.
Tropics
Gulf development odds through hurricane season, before they start to matter here.
Temperature
Highs, lows and feels-like conditions across the region’s cities.
City forecasts
A rotating seven-day outlook for the communities the channel covers.
Almanac
Today’s normals and records for the region’s climate cities — some over a century deep.
Frost & growing season
Last-freeze and first-freeze dates and the growing season between them.
Air, UV & pollen
Air quality, UV index and pollen forecasts, city by city — the sky’s fine print.
Sun, moon & aurora
Sunrise, sunset and the moon’s phase — and the rare nights the aurora dips this far south.
Auto-focus
When a warning goes up, the broadcast turns toward it on its own. No one has to be at the desk.
Four states. One sky.

Shreveport–Bossier is the operational center — the radar the system watches first. But the signal is built for the whole ArkLaTex: the towns above, and the communities between them, across northwest Louisiana, northeast Texas, southwest Arkansas — and the corner of southeast Oklahoma the Shreveport radar reaches.
The wider ArkLaTex · LA / TX / AR / OKIndependent, automated, always on.
There is no newsroom here. ArkLaTex Weather Live is one person, a stack of automation, and a fixed obsession with one region’s sky.
The YouTube channel is the first surface of a larger custom weather platform built for the ArkLaTex — software that gathers radar, warnings, reports and forecasts and turns them into something you can actually leave open: on a TV, a second monitor, a phone on the counter.
It runs around the clock and assembles itself from live data. Coverage keeps growing as the system does — a continuous, automated signal today, more of it as the platform matures.
- A
Independent
Not a TV station, not a network affiliate. Built and run locally.
- B
Automated
The broadcast assembles itself from live data — radar, warnings, reports, outlooks.
- C
Local by design
Every map, forecast and rotation is scoped to the ArkLaTex. Nothing generic.
- D
Evolving
A custom weather application is in active development alongside the channel.
When the sky changes, the channel is already there.
Subscribing is how you keep the live signal one tap away — it is not an emergency alert system. For warnings, rely on the National Weather Service and your local officials, always.
