Shreveport drivers and holiday travelers should prepare for a hot and unsettled Labor Day, with brief but strong storms possible. Temperatures will climb near 90°F Monday, and any storm could bring heavy rain, lightning, and sudden travel delays.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, scattered showers may develop after midday Monday. Storms could flare near I-20, making road conditions slippery for returning holiday traffic. Winds remain light, but isolated downpours could briefly reduce visibility. Officials urge residents to stay weather-aware if traveling, particularly during the afternoon.
Monday night stays partly cloudy with lows near 70°F, offering some relief from daytime heat. Tuesday brings another round of scattered storms between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Temperatures rise into the lower 90s, keeping heat a concern. Even with only a 20% chance of storms, lightning and sudden downpours remain possible.
By Wednesday, skies turn sunny with highs near 90°F. Calmer weather continues into Thursday and Friday, both days topping out near 91°F under mostly clear skies. That stability should hold into the weekend, providing better conditions for outdoor plans.
Travelers should monitor radar updates Monday and Tuesday, avoid driving through flooded streets, and secure outdoor items during afternoon storms.
Warnings could be issued quickly if stronger storms develop, especially during peak afternoon hours. Stay alert for updates through the first half of the week.
