Shreveport, Louisiana – Louisiana sunshine will drive Shreveport toward 99 degrees today, with the heat index climbing as high as 103.
According to the National Weather Service, Shreveport Downtown Airport reported 76 degrees at 7:53 a.m. Humidity stood at 82%.
That moisture will matter as temperatures accelerate through the day. The NWS expects sunny skies and southeast winds around 5 mph.
Residents working outside should move strenuous activities toward cooler hours and drink water frequently. Never leave children or pets inside vehicles.
The temperature falls only to around 76 by early Sunday morning. Sunday then reaches 98 degrees with another 103-degree heat index possible.
Increasing clouds offer little meaningful relief. Monday stays sunny and hot near 98, followed by a low around 77.
Tuesday reaches 96 degrees before Wednesday climbs back to 97. Thursday and Friday could reach 98 and 99, respectively.
Drivers on I-20, I-49 and other northwest Louisiana routes should carry water and check vehicles before longer trips. Roadside breakdowns become more serious during intense summer heat.
For now, the supplied NWS outlook shows no precipitation through Wednesday. It also shows no snow, ice or near-freezing temperatures.
The local data does not identify a thunderstorm or tornado chance through the five-day period. The broader national storm discussion does not establish a Shreveport-specific severe threat.
That makes persistent heat the primary local weather story. Warm early mornings will provide limited recovery before temperatures surge again.
Anyone attending outdoor events should seek shade and watch for signs of heat illness. More heat-related alerts could follow if conditions intensify.
