Shreveport, Louisiana – Spring storms will rumble back into Louisiana this week, with Shreveport residents and drivers along I-20 facing potential hazards by Wednesday.

Conditions will worsen by Wednesday night, when thunderstorm chances spike to 70%, bringing threats of heavy rain, lightning, and possible minor flooding in low-lying areas. Drivers on I-20 and I-49 should stay alert for water-covered roads and sudden visibility drops.
Temperatures on Tuesday will remain warm, with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 87°F. Light south winds around 5 to 10 mph will persist. By Wednesday, similar warmth continues ahead of the storms, but gustier winds near 25 mph could accompany thunderstorm cells, especially during the evening hours.
Rain chances continue into Thursday, with a 40% likelihood of additional showers and storms, particularly in the afternoon. Shreveport will stay partly sunny during breaks in rainfall, and daytime highs will hover in the mid-80s. Overnight lows will dip into the upper 60s, keeping humidity high.
As the weekend approaches, smaller rain chances (20%) will linger Friday and Saturday. Both days will bring partly sunny skies and highs in the low 80s, offering brief springtime relief between storm chances.
