Shreveport, Louisiana – Floodwaters may still be a concern across northwestern Louisiana, but the bigger story now is the continued rain and renewed thunderstorm risk Wednesday in Shreveport and surrounding areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, a Flood Watch remains in effect through 7 a.m. Tuesday, but showers and thunderstorms will continue through Wednesday, with a 60% chance of rain by afternoon. Localized street flooding remains a possibility on heavily traveled routes like Interstate 20, especially near low-lying areas or drainage zones.
Drivers should be cautious on Wednesday, particularly in Caddo, Bossier, and Webster Parishes, where runoff from previous storms may linger. New rainfall totals could again reach up to half an inch during isolated storms. Emergency officials advise limiting travel in areas prone to poor drainage and preparing for brief but heavy downpours.
Rain chances decrease Wednesday night to 40%, with scattered showers tapering off. Thursday brings a mixed bag: 60% chance of afternoon storms, but more sunshine expected. Friday and Saturday appear drier and warmer, with highs near 82°F and only a 20% chance of rain, signaling a break in the wet pattern.
