Shreveport, Louisiana – A round of afternoon thunderstorms and a sharp jump into 90-degree territory will slam Shreveport starting Monday, May 12, kicking off a week of classic late spring heat and storm chances.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, isolated storms are possible between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Monday, with a higher chance of rain and thunderstorms after 4 p.m. as temperatures climb to 79°F. Winds will shift northwest in the afternoon, and the chance of precipitation sits at 20% before increasing later in the day.
Though Monday’s showers may be brief, Tuesday brings a different story—sunshine and a high near 90°F will dominate, drying out roads like I-20 and I-49 but increasing the risk of heat-related stress. Wednesday climbs even higher, reaching a sizzling 95°F under mostly sunny skies, making it one of the hottest days of the season so far. Overnight lows in the upper 60s and low 70s will offer little relief.
Here’s the Five-Day Outlook for Shreveport:
- Monday: Slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms, high near 79°F
- Tuesday: Sunny and hot, high near 90°F
- Wednesday: Mostly sunny, high near 95°F
- Thursday: Partly sunny, high around 94°F
- Friday: Afternoon storm chance returns, high near 93°F
