Louisiana – Warm air rolls in early, carrying a sticky feel more typical of late spring. Low clouds hang overhead this morning, and the breeze off the Gulf already feels active. By afternoon, heat builds quickly, and the atmosphere starts to look unsettled.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, highs climb into the upper 70s today under mostly cloudy skies. South winds increase through the day, gusting near 20 mph at times. A few showers may develop later, especially after sunset, as moisture deepens across northwest Louisiana.
Across Caddo and Bossier parishes, tonight stays mild, with lows near 60. Wet pavement may show up in spots, though widespread rain holds off for now. Wednesday brings more clouds and another warm afternoon near the mid-70s, with a slight chance of brief showers early.
Thursday offers a short break. Sunshine returns, and highs reach the mid-70s again. That calm does not last long. By Friday, humidity rises fast, and temperatures spike near 80 degrees. Showers and thunderstorms become more likely during the afternoon and evening, especially along and south of I-20. Drivers should prepare for brief downpours and reduced visibility during peak travel hours.
Saturday turns more active. Rain chances climb sharply, with showers likely and thunderstorms possible. Gusty winds and heavy rain could create ponding on roads and slow travel through the afternoon. While severe weather is not guaranteed, conditions may change quickly.
Looking ahead, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook keeps temperatures above normal into early next week. With winter firmly retreating, spring-like swings are taking control across the southern Plains and Gulf states.
Plan outdoor tasks earlier today, allow extra time for travel late week, and stay weather-aware as storms approach. Seeing rain or storms already? Share what’s happening where you are.
