SHREVEPORT, La. – A stretch of perfect fall weather is setting up across northwest Louisiana, with dry skies and mild mornings expected straight through midweek. After a crisp Friday start, temperatures will rise steadily under abundant sunshine, creating ideal conditions for pumpkin patches, outdoor fairs, and football games.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, a warming trend will push highs back into the upper 80s by Sunday and near 90 degrees by Columbus Day. Morning lows will stay seasonably cool in the lower 60s, providing comfortable starts for early travelers on I-20 and outdoor runners alike. Drivers should remain alert to sun glare during morning commutes, especially heading east toward Bossier City.
The calm, dry pattern also means little relief for those waiting on rain. Forecasters say no measurable precipitation is likely through at least Wednesday. Area lawns, gardens, and local waterways could use a soaking soon, as moderate drought persists in some parishes.
Residents are urged to stay hydrated during outdoor events this weekend and use sunscreen, as UV levels remain moderate to high even in October. With Halloween décor already appearing across Shreveport, this steady fall warmth will help residents enjoy extended outdoor decorating time before any late-month cool snap arrives.
