Louisiana wakes under warm, hazy air this morning as early sunlight glints off damp pavement across Shreveport. A soft southern breeze moves through neighborhoods, but clouds already thicken, signaling a pattern that could complicate early Thanksgiving travel plans.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers may drift toward the region today, though most impacts arrive Friday. Residents should expect quick changes in sky conditions, especially during the afternoon commute. Any heavier pockets of rain could reduce visibility on I-20 and local highways. Travelers heading out early for holiday plans should pack patience and check conditions often.
Models hint at a more organized storm setup Friday, with thunderstorms possible by midday. Gusty winds may accompany stronger cells, and brief downpours could slow traffic across Caddo and Bossier Parishes. To be fair, severe weather looks limited, but this warm, humid stretch signals a classic November pattern ahead of a larger holiday travel week. National models continue to hint at colder air and significant snow chances for parts of the central and northern United States between November 25 and December 3, raising the perennial question: What are the chances of snow on Thanksgiving somewhere in the country?
Shreveport, however, stays warm through Saturday. Sunshine returns briefly this weekend, creating a window for decorating, yard cleanup, and car prep before next week’s travel surge. Sunday brings a slight rain chance again, with temperatures holding near the mid-70s.
