Shreveport, LA – The air feels heavy this morning in northwest Louisiana, the kind of stillness that hints at change. Thick clouds and rising humidity signal what’s next — a wave of showers and thunderstorms expected to build through the day, bringing potential for gusty winds and brief downpours before the skies finally calm by midweek.
The National Weather Service reports that strong to severe storms are possible from late morning through this evening across the Ark-La-Tex region. A few storms could produce brief heavy rain and strong gusts near 40 mph, especially along I-20 between Shreveport and Bossier City. Commuters and early Thanksgiving travelers should allow extra time as roads may turn slick and visibility drops under passing cells.
After Tuesday, the weather takes a sharp turn toward calm and clear. High pressure builds over Louisiana, ushering in sunny skies and mild afternoons through Thanksgiving Day. Highs will hover near 60°F with light winds — perfect for travel, family gatherings, or outdoor cooking.
Looking ahead, another chance of showers may return late Friday into Saturday, but for now, Thanksgiving looks dry and seasonably cool across northwest Louisiana.
5-Day Outlook:
- Tuesday: Mostly sunny, 72°F.
- Wednesday: Sunny, 60°F.
- Thanksgiving Day: Sunny, 60°F.
- Friday: Partly sunny, 64°F.
- Saturday: Showers possible, 69°F.
