Shreveport, LA – Shreveport residents are facing a blistering stretch of extreme summer heat, with actual temperatures nearing 98°F and heat index values climbing as high as 103°F through Saturday. The worst of the heat is expected Friday, as calm winds and intense sun will leave little relief during the day or night.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, this heat event continues through at least Sunday, with daytime highs in the upper 90s and overnight lows only dipping to the mid-70s. A weak front may offer a slight break by Sunday afternoon, with isolated thunderstorms possible after 1 p.m., but it won’t do much to cool things down immediately.
Friday: Sunny and hot again with highs near 97°F and feels-like temps hitting 105°F.
Saturday: Little change—highs remain in the upper 90s with minimal wind and no storm relief.
Sunday: Slight chance (20%) of afternoon storms, but heat lingers with highs near 95°F.
Monday: Another 20% storm chance; temperatures start to trend downward slightly.
Tuesday: Continued heat with possible scattered storms; high near 94°F.
Heat safety remains critical—limit outdoor activity during peak sun, stay hydrated, and check on vulnerable individuals. Nighttime cooling will be minimal, increasing heat exhaustion risks, particularly for those without reliable air conditioning.
More rain chances arrive midweek, but alerts remain in effect through the weekend.
