Shreveport, LA — Louisiana residents should prepare for rising temperatures and increasing storm risks as Shreveport braces for an early spring surge. Beginning Wednesday, clear skies will give way to heat, humidity, and potential rainfall just in time to impact weekend activities and travel.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday will bring sunny skies and a high near 80°F, with south winds between 5 to 10 mph. Thursday’s weather will push even warmer, reaching 87°F with gusts up to 25 mph. But by Friday, expect mostly cloudy skies with temperatures spiking near 89°F. This warm trend will carry into the weekend, with instability building over Shreveport and nearby I-20 corridors.
Saturday may start dry but becomes a concern for outdoor plans. A 20 percent chance of showers starts Saturday afternoon, followed by increased rain chances Saturday night with potential thunderstorms and a 30 percent precipitation probability. Rain likelihood jumps to 50 percent Sunday and Sunday night, continuing into Monday with a 30 percent chance of rain. Conditions will remain warm, with weekend highs in the mid-80s.
Residents should monitor local alerts and remain cautious during outdoor events, especially with possible thunderstorm activity developing during the evenings. For those traveling along I-20, prepare for reduced visibility and wet roads.
