Louisiana – Warm sunlight spreads across Shreveport this morning, and the air already carries a summer-like feel that will only intensify through midweek. Roads along I-20 and I-49 remain dry and clear, giving drivers a smooth start, but the heat will build quickly each afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, highs reach near 78 degrees today under mostly sunny skies, with light winds shifting through the morning. Clouds begin to increase later today, but no rain is expected, keeping conditions steady and dry.
Across the Ark-La-Tex region, including Bossier City, Marshall, Texas, and Texarkana, temperatures climb steadily. Tuesday brings highs near 80 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds. By Wednesday, full sunshine returns, pushing temperatures to around 86 degrees by mid-afternoon.
Thursday marks the peak of this spring heat surge. Highs reach near 88 degrees, running well above seasonal averages for late March. Pavement and parked cars heat up quickly by early afternoon. If you’re heading out, wear light clothing and stay hydrated.
This stretch remains rain-free through Friday, which helps travel but dries out soil and vegetation. Winds stay light, so no major travel disruptions are expected across regional highways.
A shift arrives by the weekend as temperatures drop back into the low 70s Saturday, offering a cooler break after several warm days. Nights also cool into the upper 40s.
This warming trend reflects a broader pattern across the central U.S., with more changes possible heading into next week. Planning outdoor activities Thursday? Expect full sun and peak heat across the region.
