Louisiana – Louisiana wakes to a cool, quiet start, with crisp air settling over neighborhoods and a pale sun rising over the Red River. Jackets feel necessary now, but they will not last long.
Early temperatures across Shreveport sit in the low 40s, with a light north breeze adding a cool edge. According to the National Weather Service, sunshine dominates today, helping highs climb into the mid-50s by afternoon. Roads stay dry, and visibility remains clear for commuters across I-20 and I-49.
By tonight, skies turn mostly clear and temperatures dip into the lower 30s. That brief cold snap keeps a winter feel in place through early Thursday morning. Drivers heading out before sunrise may notice a sharp chill, though no icing issues are expected.
Thursday brings steady improvement. Sunshine returns quickly, and highs reach the upper 50s by midday. Winds turn lighter and more westerly, allowing the air to warm efficiently. Outdoor plans become easier as the afternoon feels noticeably milder than recent mornings.
Friday marks a dramatic shift. Temperatures surge into the low 70s under full sun, pushing Shreveport well above typical February levels. The warmth holds into the afternoon and early evening, offering ideal conditions for travel and outdoor activities. Friday night cools only into the mid-40s, a clear sign winter is losing ground.
The weekend continues the warming trend. Saturday stays sunny with highs near 70, while Sunday climbs into the mid-70s. Morning lows remain mild, and winds stay light, keeping conditions comfortable across northwest Louisiana.
Looking ahead, early next week stays warm and mostly dry, though a small rain chance appears by Tuesday. Beyond that, longer-range signals point to above-normal temperatures continuing into late next week. Feeling the February warm-up where you are this morning?
