Cool air settles over northwest Louisiana this morning as December’s first cold snap keeps Shreveport shivering near 42°F. The air is crisp, skies are clear, and a light northwest breeze carries the scent of dry pine through calm neighborhoods waking to winter’s quiet rhythm.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, today will gradually turn sunny with highs near 52°F, offering a calm, comfortable afternoon after a brisk start. Overnight lows dip back into the mid-30s, setting up patchy frost in rural areas and low-lying spots.
By Tuesday and Wednesday, southerly winds will nudge temperatures upward again, bringing highs in the upper 50s to mid-60s under clear skies. While this brief warm spell offers a taste of early fall, forecasters caution another cool front could slip through by Friday night, returning lows to the upper 30s and reminding residents that winter is just beginning.
For now, the stretch ahead looks ideal for travel, outdoor decorating, or yard cleanup before the next temperature swing. Drivers heading out early should still watch for frosted windshields and slick bridges as morning temps hover near freezing in rural parishes.
