SHREVEPORT, La. – A damp haze and heavy clouds hang over Shreveport early Tuesday, the air thick ahead of an approaching line of storms. Lightning flickers along the Texas border before dawn, and the rumble of thunder signals a day of fast-changing skies across northwest Louisiana.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, scattered showers and thunderstorms will intensify through late morning and early afternoon, especially along the I-20 corridor between Marshall and Minden. Southeast winds may gust near 20 mph as the storm line sweeps through, bringing brief downpours and a few strong wind gusts. Drivers should watch for slick roads and ponding through the evening commute.
Rain chances fall quickly tonight as the front pushes east. Winds shift northwest at 15 to 25 mph, ushering in much cooler, drier air. Wednesday turns breezy and bright, with highs in the low 60s and gusts topping 30 mph. By Thursday, sunshine dominates under crisp, fall air — a dramatic shift from today’s stormy warmth.
