Low clouds are already breaking across northwest Louisiana, and a humid breeze drifts through Shreveport as temperatures climb out of the 60s. Sunshine is returning quickly, and the warmup will accelerate by midday.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, skies will gradually clear this morning with highs reaching near 82 degrees. South winds increase between 5 and 10 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph. That steady flow pulls in warmer Gulf air and sets the tone for a week that feels more like late April than early March.
Wednesday brings a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, with highs around 84. Rain coverage remains limited, but a brief downpour could slow traffic along I-20 and I-49 after 3 p.m. Keep an eye on the sky if you have outdoor plans.
By Thursday and Friday, spring warmth intensifies. Highs reach the mid to upper 80s, peaking near 88 on Friday under partly sunny skies. Humidity rises, and storm chances return Friday night into Saturday. Saturday carries an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with highs near 83. Expect wet roads and possible lightning delays for weekend events.
This warming trend stretches into early next week, with above-normal temperatures favored in the 6–10 day outlook. Spring warmth is building fast across Louisiana and East Texas.
Clocks spring ahead at 2 a.m. Sunday morning, March 8. We lose an hour of sleep but gain brighter evenings and longer daylight through the month.
