Shreveport, Louisiana – Brutal heat and the return of storms are setting up a volatile weather stretch for northwest Louisiana, with dangerous conditions expected through Tuesday. Shreveport faces a heat index up to 102°F Saturday afternoon, while thunderstorms—some potentially severe—could roll in again as early as Monday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, the region will see partly sunny skies today with a high near 92°F. Winds from the south at 5 to 10 mph will offer little relief, and heat safety remains critical. Residents should limit outdoor exposure, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous activity during peak afternoon hours.
Thunderstorm chances ramp up again late Monday into Tuesday, with a 40% chance of storms by Tuesday afternoon. Some of these could turn severe, especially near the I-20 corridor. Damaging winds, hail, and heavy downpours may lead to localized flooding or dangerous travel conditions.
Looking ahead, Tuesday night may also bring storm activity, though coverage should diminish by early Wednesday. The good news? Cooler, more stable weather follows, with sunny skies and highs in the low 80s by midweek.
