Shreveport, LA – Spring storms return to northwest Louisiana as Shreveport braces for early Tuesday morning thunderstorms that could make for a slick and hazardous commute along I-20.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and thunderstorms are likely between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. Tuesday, with a 20 percent chance of lingering rain through the morning. Winds could reach up to 10 mph from the southeast, adding to potential driving hazards before sunrise. Commuters should allow extra travel time and remain alert for reduced visibility and wet roads.
Tuesday will clear by afternoon, with sunny skies and a high near 86°F — about 10 degrees above seasonal norms for late March. Calm winds will return by evening as the region briefly settles into a more typical spring pattern. But this calm won’t last long.
Another round of showers is possible early Wednesday, again between 1 a.m. and 10 a.m., before skies clear. Highs will remain warm, hovering around 75°F. Thursday and Friday continue the trend, with scattered showers expected both days, keeping spring break travel plans uncertain.
