Shreveport, Louisiana – High heat and relentless sun will grip Shreveport through Saturday as a stretch of 90-degree weather takes hold by Wednesday morning, pushing daily highs near 96°F without any sign of rain.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, a dome of high pressure will keep skies clear and conditions dry across northwest Louisiana. Temperatures on Wednesday, September 10, will climb to 94°F, with even hotter days expected Thursday and Friday. Roads like I-20 and LA-3132 will see hot pavement conditions by midafternoon, raising the risk of vehicle overheating and reduced tire traction.
East winds remain calm at 5 mph, offering little relief. Overnight lows will only dip into the upper 60s and low 70s, which may strain cooling systems for those without reliable air conditioning. Officials advise staying indoors between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., hydrating regularly, and checking on elderly neighbors and pets.
The unseasonable heat signals a late-summer punch as fall weather patterns stall across the region. Outdoor workers and school districts should take heat precautions through the end of the week. No precipitation is expected before early next week.
Shreveport residents should prepare for persistent sunshine and potential air quality issues through Saturday. Another update is expected Thursday if heat advisories are issued.
