Louisiana begins the day under a pale and quiet sky as thin clouds slide across Shreveport. The air feels mild for mid-December, and early commuters notice dry pavement and calm winds along I-20. A soft southerly breeze pushes warm air northward, setting up a pleasant stretch before the next system approaches.

Temperatures rise toward the upper 60s this afternoon, giving the ArkLaTex a brief taste of late-fall warmth. Outdoor travel stays easy, but residents should still track a Saturday rain chance building from the west. Meteorologists now monitor a weak disturbance that could spark scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms by late afternoon. Road spray may develop along Youree Drive and the Inner Loop, especially once winds shift north after the system passes.

To be fair, this is not a winter storm threat. Shreveport sits well south of the national cold corridor moving across the Midwest. Still, December patterns can pivot quickly, and this warm-then-cool rhythm often signals a larger Winter Tease ahead. Keep light jackets and umbrellas close through the weekend.

By Sunday, skies clear and cooler air slides in. Highs fall into the mid-50s, and morning churchgoers may feel a crisp breeze that carries the first hint of the deeper winter still building across the Plains. Sunshine dominates the day, helping to dry any lingering moisture from Saturday’s showers.

Plan extra time if traveling north on I-49 early Sunday, where temperatures drop faster. After all, December’s shift toward winter often arrives through subtle signals before larger systems take shape.
