Louisiana – A crisp start greets northwest Louisiana this morning as clear skies stretch over Shreveport and cold air pools near the Red River. Jackets feel necessary at sunrise, but warmth builds quickly once the sun climbs.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, early temperatures sit in the lower 30s with light winds. Sunshine pushes highs into the mid-60s later today, creating a sharp contrast from the morning chill. That mild feel does not last long.
Clouds increase tonight, and rain chances rise heading into Tuesday. Showers become likely by late morning and afternoon, with a chance for an embedded thunderstorm. Wet pavement could slow traffic along I-20, I-49, and major surface streets during peak travel hours.
Rain tapers Tuesday evening as cooler air filters in behind the system. By Wednesday morning, temperatures fall into the lower 30s again. Skies clear quickly, and sunshine returns, but the air feels noticeably cooler than earlier in the week.
Wednesday afternoon highs reach the mid-50s, followed by another chilly night. While widespread freezing issues are not expected, damp ground could feel slick in shaded areas early Wednesday, especially near bridges and low-lying spots.
The pattern turns quieter heading toward the weekend. Thursday and Friday bring steady sunshine and a warming trend. Highs climb back into the upper 60s by Friday, offering a springlike feel across northwest Louisiana.
Drivers should plan extra time during Tuesday’s rain and remain alert for brief downpours. Keep layers handy for temperature swings. Are you noticing the rapid warmup where you live, or is the cold still hanging on?
