Louisiana – Flags snap sharply before sunrise as steady northwest winds push cooler air across northwest Louisiana. Trash bins rattle, tree limbs sway, and the breeze makes it feel colder than the thermometer suggests.
A Wind Advisory remains in effect for Shreveport and surrounding parishes through 6 a.m. Monday. Gusts between 30 and 40 mph continue early, especially in open areas and along east–west roadways. High-profile vehicles may feel sudden pushes, particularly on I-20 and I-49.
Skies gradually clear after sunrise, and winds slowly relax by late morning. Afternoon conditions turn calmer and brighter, with sunshine returning and highs near 50 degrees. Despite the sun, the air feels crisp, signaling a brief winter reset across the Ark-La-Tex.
Tonight brings clearer skies and lighter winds. Temperatures drop quickly into the upper 20s, creating the coldest night of the week. Patchy frost is likely by early Tuesday morning, especially on vehicles and exposed surfaces. Plan ahead if you are traveling early or leaving pets outdoors.
Tuesday stays quiet and sunny, with highs near 50 degrees. Another chilly night follows, dipping close to 30 degrees. By Wednesday, a noticeable warm-up begins as highs climb into the lower 60s under clear skies.
Looking ahead to New Year’s Eve, weather conditions appear favorable for travel and outdoor plans. Mild afternoons and cool evenings continue into New Year’s Day 2026, with highs approaching the upper 60s. No winter precipitation is expected locally, though large systems remain active across the northern Plains and Great Lakes.
For now, secure loose outdoor items this morning and allow extra space when driving in gusty conditions. Layers will help manage chilly mornings and mild afternoons. Are you noticing strong winds where you live, or has it already calmed down?
