Shreveport, Louisiana – Brutal heat is expected to grip Louisiana again Tuesday, July 22nd, with highs near 100°F and heat index values soaring to 106°F in Shreveport. Roads like I-20 and neighborhoods across Caddo Parish will bake under persistent sun and dangerous temperatures.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, Tuesday’s sweltering highs will be accompanied by light southwest winds and minimal cloud cover. A Heat Advisory remains in effect through 8 p.m. Monday, and similar conditions are forecast for Tuesday. Heat index values will hover between 105°F and 109°F — high enough to pose serious health risks for anyone outdoors.
Residents are urged to avoid strenuous activity between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., stay indoors when possible, and drink plenty of water. The extreme heat can quickly lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke, especially for older adults and children. Utilities may see peak usage; consider reducing energy use during peak hours.
The pattern remains locked through midweek. Wednesday’s high will reach 100°F again under mostly sunny skies. Thursday turns even hotter, topping out at 101°F.
Relief may arrive by the weekend, but not without a catch. Rain chances return starting Saturday, with a 30% chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. The slight cooldown will drop highs into the mid-90s Saturday and Sunday, but humidity will remain high.
⚠️ Stay weather-aware and check back for updates as weekend storms develop.
