Shreveport, LA – Residents across the ArkLaTex are facing another cold night tonight as sub-freezing temperatures settle back into the region, with lows expected to dip into the mid-20s to around 30 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, cold conditions will persist through tonight across portions of northwest Louisiana, northeast Texas, and southern Arkansas. Forecast lows are expected to range from the mid-20s in northern areas to near 30 degrees farther south, raising concerns for exposed pipes, pets, plants, and early-morning travel.
Daytime temperatures today struggled to warm significantly, with highs ranging from the mid-40s to lower 50s across much of the region. Cities including Shreveport, Texarkana, El Dorado, and Monroe remained well below seasonal averages as cold air continues to dominate.
Weather officials say some improvement is on the way. Temperatures are expected to slowly rebound beginning Thursday, with highs climbing into the upper 40s and 50s, especially across southern portions of the ArkLaTex. However, colder air will linger longer across northern areas, keeping mornings chilly.
Residents are urged to take cold-weather precautions, including protecting outdoor plumbing, bringing pets indoors, and checking on vulnerable neighbors. Drivers should also remain cautious during early morning hours, as bridges and overpasses may become slick in colder pockets.
While no winter precipitation is expected, officials say continued cold overnight conditions could still pose risks, particularly for those without adequate heating.
