Crisp air greets northwest Louisiana this morning as a silvery frost stretches across lawns, rooftops, and car windshields in Shreveport. Breath hangs in the air, and drivers scraping windshields can feel the early chill of December before a midweek shift brings warmer, wetter weather.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, temperatures start near freezing with widespread frost possible through sunrise. Skies turn mostly sunny through the afternoon, pushing highs into the upper 40s. It’s a brief calm before the next system approaches from the west, bringing clouds Wednesday and a 60% chance of rain by Wednesday night.
The midweek rain could linger through Thursday, with scattered showers likely to dampen commutes and holiday errands across Caddo and Bossier parishes. Roads may turn slick during heavier downpours, especially along I-20 and Highway 71. Temperatures hover near 50°F through the second half of the week before rebounding toward 60°F over the weekend.
Meteorologists note that early mornings will remain cold enough for frost through midweek, with lows in the lower 30s. Gardeners and residents with sensitive plants should take precautions by covering vegetation or bringing items indoors.
While severe weather isn’t expected, lingering rainfall and cooler air will make for a chilly start to December. Expect improved travel conditions by Friday afternoon as clouds clear and the sun returns.
