Louisiana – Bright sun and near-summer warmth are setting the stage for a quick shift, as clouds build and showers push into northwest Louisiana by early Saturday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, rain chances climb from 20% early Saturday to 80% by afternoon, with scattered thunderstorms developing after 1 p.m. Gusty winds up to 20 mph will accompany storms, along with brief downpours that could quickly soak roads .
Shreveport, Bossier City, and areas along I-20 will start dry, but conditions change fast through the afternoon. Expect wet pavement and reduced visibility during heavier showers. Plan errands early and keep rain gear within reach. If thunder develops, move indoors and avoid open areas.
Storm activity continues into Saturday night, with a 60% chance of lingering showers before skies begin to clear. Temperatures fall sharply from near 90 degrees today to the low 70s Saturday, then dip into the upper 40s by early Sunday, bringing a crisp, cooler feel.
Sunday delivers a rebound with sunshine and highs in the mid-70s, followed by a quiet stretch into Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures stabilize in the upper 70s with partly sunny skies, offering a stretch of calmer spring weather.
Looking ahead, a gradual warming trend builds late next week, hinting at early summer vibes returning across the Ark-La-Tex.
