Shreveport, Louisiana – Thunderstorms, climbing temperatures, and road safety concerns will shape the week ahead in northwest Louisiana, with Shreveport set for springtime weather whiplash starting Saturday. Motorists on I-20 should prepare for changing driving conditions and possible delays, especially as thunderstorm chances rise and temperatures approach 90°F by Monday.
According to the National Weather Service, a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms returns to Shreveport on Saturday afternoon, followed by a slight chance of rain Saturday night. South and southeast winds could push humid air across Caddo Parish, leading to higher humidity and wet road surfaces on major routes like I-20 and LA-3132. If you plan to travel, allow extra time and drive cautiously through rain-prone stretches.
Mostly sunny skies dominate Sunday, but Monday’s forecast warns of highs near 88°F with continued dry conditions, raising risks for heat-sensitive individuals and those working outdoors. Monday night brings mostly cloudy skies with a low near 70°F. By Tuesday, another round of spring showers is possible, with a 20 percent chance of rain and a high near 89°F, followed by more widespread thunderstorms and a 50 percent chance of rain on Wednesday.
Keep your phones charged for weather updates, avoid flooded roadways, and check school and work alerts as conditions shift. This active spring weather pattern could bring additional advisories, especially if thunderstorm chances increase midweek.
