SHREVEPORT, La. – A thick layer of fog blanketed the Red River Valley early today, softening headlights and leaving a thin sheen of moisture across I-20 and downtown Shreveport. By midmorning, sunlight should burn through the haze, revealing one of the last truly warm afternoons of this fall stretch before cooler, drier air takes control heading into Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, patchy fog will remain possible through early hours today, with visibility occasionally dropping below one mile. Once it lifts, highs are expected to rise into the lower 80s under mostly sunny skies. Winds will shift northwest later, ushering in noticeably cooler and less humid air by Sunday night.
Drivers should allow extra space on bridges and shaded rural routes early this morning, as visibility could change rapidly. For outdoor plans, today offers ideal weather for late-season yardwork or early holiday decorating before temperatures dip sharply into the 30s by Monday morning.
By early next week, the region turns seasonably crisp. Veterans Day looks clear, sunny, and comfortable — a perfect setup for parades and ceremonies — with highs in the mid-60s and light winds. Farther north, models hint at a stronger cold surge spreading toward the southern Plains later next week, possibly marking Louisiana’s first true winter tease of November.
After all, this weekend’s warmth won’t last long. The air will feel cleaner, the nights cooler, and by midmonth, a pre-Thanksgiving chill could start settling south.
