Shreveport, Louisiana – An early round of thunderstorms could bring slick roads and reduced visibility to Shreveport commuters by sunrise Tuesday, especially along I-49 and I-20. Rain chances remain low, but any isolated storm activity before 7 a.m. could lead to patchy flooding or delays in low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, a weak disturbance will push through northern Louisiana overnight into early Tuesday. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are most likely between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m., with a 20% chance of measurable rain. Calm winds and lingering moisture could lead to fog in some rural areas, especially north of the city.
Once the system clears, drier air settles in by mid-morning Tuesday with mostly sunny skies and highs near 90°F. The bigger story is the heat building throughout the week. By Thursday and Friday, highs will climb into the mid-90s, with no significant rain expected through the weekend. While the official start of Meteorological Fall begins this week, conditions in Shreveport will feel more like midsummer.
Residents are advised to stay hydrated, limit outdoor work during peak heat hours, and check in on elderly neighbors. There are no active advisories, but heat-related illnesses can still occur with prolonged exposure.
