Louisiana — Dawn breaks warm across Shreveport, with clouds glowing faintly pink above rooftops and the Red River holding a still, glassy shine. The air feels almost springlike, but a subtle shift looms as a new Gulf flow forms, carrying more moisture and hinting at early-week storm potential.
Today stays bright and toasty, with highs near 83 and light south winds. Travelers should expect smooth conditions on I-20 and local highways through the morning. Residents tackling leaf cleanup or early holiday errands can safely plan outdoor tasks before humidity lifts through the afternoon. According to the National Weather Service Shreveport office, skies stay mostly clear tonight with mild temperatures near 60 and continued south winds around 10 mph. That warmth keeps fog risk low but adds moisture to the air, a setup that helps fuel Monday and Tuesday’s rain chances.
Saturday and Sunday offer more sunshine and mid-80s warmth—ideal for festivals, yard projects, or early Thanksgiving travel across northwestern Louisiana. To be fair, the stretch feels more like late September than mid-November, but models hint at a bigger change next week.
Monday brings a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms before midnight, though impacts stay limited. The more notable window arrives Tuesday as a 20% rain chance spreads through the region. While totals look light, travelers should watch for brief pavement slickness and reduced visibility if storms pop. Gusty winds could accompany stronger cells, especially east of Shreveport into Bossier Parish.
A broader, wetter signal builds midweek, suggesting unsettled weather may linger as the nation approaches peak Thanksgiving travel. No winter concerns appear for Louisiana, but temperature whiplash farther north could still shape national travel routes.
