Shreveport, LA – A heat advisory remains in effect across portions of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma, with heat indices reaching dangerous levels. Residents in these areas, including Shreveport, Texarkana, Longview, and Monroe, can expect heat index values between 105°F and 109°F until 8 p.m. Monday evening.
According to the National Weather Service, high temperatures combined with elevated humidity will result in dangerous conditions, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses. Those in affected regions should take extra precautions to stay cool and hydrated. The heat advisory encompasses much of the Ark-La-Tex region, impacting areas across southeast Oklahoma, north and central Louisiana, southwest Arkansas, and east Texas.
For cities like Shreveport and Natchitoches, this means high temperatures will feel significantly hotter than the actual air temperature, potentially leading to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. The National Weather Service advises staying indoors in air-conditioned spaces, drinking plenty of fluids, and limiting outdoor activities to early morning or evening hours.
Travelers are urged to monitor conditions closely, especially those driving or working outdoors. Local authorities are also urging residents to check on vulnerable family members and neighbors to ensure their well-being.
This heat wave is expected to continue through Monday evening, but further updates and advisories may follow. Stay informed for any changes to local alerts.
