Shreveport, Louisiana – Heat will slam into Shreveport again Sunday as temperatures climb toward 95°F, with heat index values reaching a sweltering 104°. Thunderstorm chances also return by mid-afternoon, marking the start of a steamy and stormy stretch leading into the July 4th holiday.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, scattered thunderstorms are expected after 1 p.m. Sunday, with similar patterns extending through at least Thursday. While storms are not expected to be severe, brief downpours, gusty winds, and lightning could affect outdoor plans—especially Sunday through Tuesday.
Locals are urged to avoid extended outdoor activity during peak heat hours and stay hydrated. The combination of humidity and afternoon storms may impact drivers on I-20 and local roads, especially during Sunday evening and Monday afternoon commutes.
On Monday, expect partly sunny skies early with another round of scattered thunderstorms developing after 1 p.m. Highs stay near 95°F. Thunderstorm chances increase Tuesday, with a 40% chance in the afternoon and continued 20% chances overnight into Wednesday. Daytime highs hover between 94° and 96° through midweek.
By Thursday and the 4th of July, isolated storms remain possible, but skies may turn partly sunny with highs around 94°F—offering a potential window for fireworks events, though updates will be key.
