Shreveport, Louisiana – Scattered storms and triple-digit heat index values are headed for northwest Louisiana just in time for the weekend, bringing summer hazards to local roadways and outdoor plans.

Friday night may bring additional showers before 1 a.m., keeping skies partly cloudy and lows near 76°F. Though chances remain slim, isolated downpours could briefly impact I-20 or I-49 travel late Friday.
Saturday continues the trend, with highs soaring to 97°F under mostly sunny skies. While storm chances remain low during the day, humidity will push the heat index well into uncomfortable territory. Locals are urged to hydrate, limit outdoor work, and never leave children or pets in vehicles.
