Low clouds drift across northwest Louisiana this morning, softening streetlights and dampening windshields as early commuters head out. Humid air clings to the ground, and patchy fog reduces visibility in spots, especially near rivers and low-lying roads around Shreveport.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, clouds thin through the morning, allowing sunshine to return by midday. Highs climb into the mid to upper 70s today, with south winds slowly increasing. Fog fades by mid-morning, but drivers should remain cautious on shaded roads and bridges early.
The warm pattern holds through Christmas Day. Afternoon temperatures stay well above seasonal norms, reaching the upper 70s Wednesday and Christmas Day. Nights remain mild, with lows hovering near 60. Roads across Caddo and Bossier parishes stay dry, supporting smooth holiday travel along I-20, I-49, and Highway 71.
By Friday, heat peaks for late December. Highs approach 80 degrees under mostly sunny skies, and light winds help conditions feel more like early fall than winter. That warmth favors post-Christmas travel, though increased traffic volume may slow major corridors during peak hours.
Changes emerge heading into the weekend. Clouds increase Saturday night, and a chance of showers arrives Sunday. Cooler air follows early next week, dropping highs back into the 40s by Monday. While no freeze is imminent, wet pavement combined with falling temperatures could raise slick-spot concerns later.
For now, enjoy the calm stretch, but stay weather-aware as December closes. Traveling this weekend or returning home after Christmas? Tell us what conditions you’re seeing on the roads.
