SHREVEPORT, La. – A calm, muggy dawn blankets northwest Louisiana this Sunday, but a hint of haze signals moisture building across the Ark-La-Tex. Low clouds and fog pockets will lift by late morning, giving way to brief sunshine before the next system brings a round of scattered showers and possible thunderstorms by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, a weak disturbance will trigger a 40% chance of showers through early Sunday afternoon, mainly east of I-49. Conditions improve Sunday night with partial clearing and mild lows near 60°F. Monday will turn warmer and breezy under partly sunny skies, with highs reaching the upper 70s — a touch of summer warmth lingering as October winds down.
Tuesday brings the next weather shift as Gulf moisture surges north, fueling a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Forecasters expect scattered rain and isolated rumbles between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m., with gusty winds and lightning possible. Drivers along I-20 and U.S. 71 should prepare for brief downpours and reduced visibility during the evening commute.
Behind the front, cooler, drier air filters in Wednesday and Thursday. Sunshine returns with highs in the low 60s and crisp mornings dipping into the 40s — ideal conditions for late-fall yardwork or Halloween decorating.
Trick-or-treaters on Friday can expect calm, clear skies with comfortable evening temperatures near 60°F — perfect for costumes and candy runs across Caddo and Bossier Parishes.
Looking ahead, early November models hint at a chillier trend, suggesting Louisiana may finally feel its first true taste of fall.
