Louisiana – Dark clouds bubble up fast this afternoon, and lightning flickers on the horizon as storms begin to organize near Shreveport.
According to the National Weather Service, a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms develops through the afternoon, with highs near 83°F and south winds gusting up to 20 mph. Some storms may produce brief heavy rain and quick bursts of lightning, especially along busy routes like I-20 and I-49.
Across Shreveport, Bossier City, and Greenwood, drivers should expect sudden wet pavement and reduced visibility during peak travel hours. Conditions can shift quickly from dry to slick. Plan extra time and avoid flooded low spots if rain intensifies.
Storm activity tapers off heading into tonight, with clouds lingering but calmer conditions returning. By Tuesday and Wednesday, skies turn partly to mostly sunny, and temperatures climb into the mid to upper 80s. It will feel noticeably warmer, with a steady spring-to-summer transition underway.
Meteorologists are watching another subtle shift by Wednesday night into Thursday. A 20 percent storm chance returns late, followed by a dry and sunny stretch Thursday before additional rain chances build again toward the weekend.
By Friday, highs approach 89°F under mostly sunny skies. That warmth may fuel scattered storms Saturday, keeping the pattern active but not constant.
