Shreveport, Louisiana – A summer weather alert is in effect for the Shreveport region as storm chances and dangerous heat return Thursday, July 10. With heat index values soaring to 103°F and thunderstorms likely after 7 a.m., residents should limit outdoor activity and remain alert for potential roadway flooding or lightning delays, especially near major corridors like I-20.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, there’s a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms Thursday, primarily in the morning. Afternoon highs near 94°F combined with humidity will push heat indices into triple digits. Light southwest winds around 5 mph will offer little relief. A slight thunderstorm chance lingers Thursday night before skies clear briefly.
Friday brings more heat, with a high near 96°F and mostly sunny skies, but the reprieve is short-lived. Storm chances return Saturday afternoon (30%), continuing into Saturday night with partly cloudy skies and lows around 76°F. Sunday mirrors this pattern: mostly sunny early, stormy by afternoon.
The five-day outlook through Monday, July 15, shows little relief from the heat. Daily highs will hover between 96°F and 99°F, and daily storm chances remain between 20–30%, mostly after 1 p.m. Monday could hit 98°F, and Tuesday pushes even higher, nearing 99°F.
Residents should monitor local alerts, stay hydrated, and avoid non-essential travel during peak heat hours. Storms may cause sudden visibility drops or ponding on roads, particularly in low-lying or poorly drained areas.
More heat and afternoon storms are expected through early next week. Stay weather-aware.
