Red River Parish will remain under bitterly cold conditions today, with temperatures staying right at or below the freezing mark throughout Monday.

An Extreme Cold Warning is in effect across the Ark-La-Tex region until Tuesday at noon, as overnight lows are expected to fall into the teens, creating dangerous conditions for people, pets, and property.

Forecasters warn that prolonged exposure to the cold could lead to frostbite and hypothermia, especially with any lingering moisture or icy conditions still present. Residents are urged to limit time outdoors, dress in layers, and ensure pets are brought indoors.

Officials also remind residents to take precautions to protect pipes, check on elderly or vulnerable neighbors, and use heating sources safely.

As of Sunday night, more than 3,000 customers in Red River Parish remain without electricity following the winter storm. Electric utility crews are actively working to restore service as quickly as possible, while prioritizing safety due to ongoing icy conditions and hazardous weather. Officials thank residents for their patience as crews continue restoration efforts across the parish.

The Louisiana Department of Health confirmed two winter storm-related deaths in Caddo Parish. The two men died due to hypothermia.

The Red River Parish Journal will continue to share updates as extreme cold conditions persist across the region.
