If you're watching in Shreveport tonight, KTBS 3 Freedom Fest looks like a clean view — high cloud that won't block the bursts and a light SSE wind to carry the smoke off. It's the marquee that carries the night. The one to watch is Monroe — low cloud will swallow the finale — so keep a backup if you're headed that way.
