Louisiana’s February warmth is already pressing in, with a humid breeze drifting across downtown Shreveport this morning. Temperatures are sitting in the mid-60s and climbing fast. Sunshine breaks through the clouds, and by afternoon highs reach near 73 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, skies turn mostly sunny today with light northwest winds around 5 mph becoming northeast later. Conditions stay quiet tonight with lows near 47 and mostly clear skies.
The warming trend builds Thursday and Friday. Highs reach 72 Thursday under full sun, then surge to 77 Friday as clouds increase. That puts Shreveport well above seasonal averages and signals a strengthening warm front across the southern Plains.
Valentine’s Weekend turns wetter. A 40 percent chance of showers develops late Friday night. Rain chances jump to 60 to 90 percent Saturday, with showers likely after midday. Some downpours could be heavy at times Saturday night. Ponding water may develop along I-20, I-49, and U.S. 71. Plan extra travel time if heading out Saturday evening.
Showers linger into Sunday before gradual clearing and highs near 68. Early next week stays mild, with upper 60s to low 70s returning by Washington’s Birthday. Long-range trends favor temperatures 10 to 20 degrees above average into late next week, reinforcing this February thaw pattern across the Ark-La-Tex.
