Louisiana – A cool, quiet start settles over northwest Louisiana this morning, with temperatures near 48°F and a light breeze drifting through Shreveport streets.

Friday marks a clear seasonal shift as the first full day of spring arrives. Highs surge to 86°F, well above normal for March. Outdoor activity will increase across the Ark-La-Tex, especially in Shreveport parks and along the Red River.
The weekend locks in the heat. Highs reach 87°F Saturday and hold near 87°F Sunday with abundant sunshine. Winds stay light, but the intensity of the sun increases. Hydration and sun protection become important, especially during peak afternoon hours.
