Shreveport, LA – Warm, sticky air drapes over northwest Louisiana this Saturday morning as fog pockets drift between neighborhoods and cling to the Red River banks. Headlights smear across the damp pavement along I-20, where early Thanksgiving travel grows while a deepening moisture plume builds overhead.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, patchy fog should lift by midmorning, but a surge of Gulf humidity returns fast. That moisture sets the stage for a stormier stretch as the region heads toward the holiday rush. Drivers should plan extra time on main corridors, especially near Bossier City, where visibility may fluctuate through early hours.
According to forecasters, isolated showers could develop this afternoon as instability increases. A higher storm chance arrives Thursday night with likely showers and late-evening thunder. Models hint at a stronger wave Friday as temperatures hover near 80 and winds shift southwest. Any robust storm could produce brief downpours, low cloud ceilings, and travel delays—especially along I-20 and US-171.
To be fair, this setup is classic late November for Louisiana, but after all, rapid moisture surges can spark quick-hitting storms. Travelers prepping for Thanksgiving week should monitor alerts, check wipers, and keep devices charged for changing conditions. Cooler air holds off until early next week, yet a subtle “winter tease” could appear if a shallow cold push meets lingering moisture north of Shreveport.
The weekend ahead stays active but manageable. Saturday offers some sun breaks with calmer wind, while Sunday brings another shot at passing showers. Monday and Tuesday stay unsettled as the pattern cycles moisture from Texas into the ArkLaTex.
