SHREVEPORT, La. – North Louisiana enters Tuesday with an extended streak of sunshine, but rising heat will test early September comfort. Temperatures will climb each day, and residents should plan for hot afternoons and warm nights through the week.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, Tuesday will bring highs near 88 under clear skies, with winds turning light by evening. By Wednesday, highs rise into the lower 90s, and Thursday could see the warmest stretch with readings topping out near 94. Drivers along Interstate 20 should prepare for heat shimmering off roadways during peak travel hours.
The dry air and consistent sunshine offer relief from storm threats, but the warm pattern could strain those without adequate cooling. Local officials urge residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor work during the afternoon, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Clear overnight conditions mean little relief, with lows staying in the upper 60s to low 70s by late week.
The pattern continues into the weekend, with Friday and Saturday highs hovering around 95. With no rain expected, outdoor events will proceed without interruption, but those attending football games or festivals should prepare for lingering heat even after sunset.
This stretch of fall weather in Shreveport highlights a transition period — summer-like heat by day, mild evenings by night. Conditions remain stable into Sunday, but forecasters caution that new advisories could follow if humidity or storm chances return next week.
