Louisiana — A low gray ceiling hangs over Shreveport this morning, softening the sunrise and casting a dim, wintry glow across quiet residential streets. The air feels cool and still, and the damp pavement hints at lingering overnight moisture—something drivers should watch for on shaded roadways and bridge decks during early errands.
Today remains mostly cloudy, but the atmosphere stays calm with light winds and temperatures climbing toward the upper 40s. This mild setup helps ease any lingering chill, giving residents a stable start to early December. Plan additional time on neighborhood roadways where patchy damp spots may create brief slickness before the surfaces dry.
Meteorologists now track a gradual warming trend that builds through Saturday. Clouds thin, sun returns, and highs rise into the upper 50s. By afternoon, a light southeast breeze pushes across open fields, adding warmth and a sense of seasonal transition. This is ideal weather for outdoor decorating, local shopping, or early-December travel toward east Texas or down I-49.
Sunday turns even warmer, reaching the lower 60s with partly sunny skies. No major precipitation signals appear, and conditions look stable through the entire day—encouraging news for church travel, sports events, and regional flights. Still, winter patterns often shift quickly, and long-range models hint at stronger systems forming across the central U.S. between December 11–17, potentially influencing travel as holiday movement increases nationwide.
Use caution this week as morning dampness and light frost may still appear in pockets. Keep layers close, as temperatures rebound sharply by afternoon.
