Shreveport, Louisiana – Rain and muggy heat will linger into the night across the ArkLaTex region, with scattered thunderstorms expected to impact areas south of the I-20 corridor through early Thursday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, low temperatures will remain unusually warm, in the low to mid-70s, while rain chances hover between 30–45% in areas like Lufkin, Natchitoches, and Ruston. Thunderstorms may continue through midnight, bringing lightning, gusty winds, and brief heavy downpours.
Cities like Shreveport, Minden, and Center could see the most consistent rain activity, while areas north of I-20 may experience fewer storms. The mugginess is expected to be uncomfortable overnight, particularly for residents without adequate cooling.
Motorists along I-20 and connecting state highways should drive with caution, especially during isolated downpours. The National Weather Service advises securing outdoor items and monitoring local alerts in case storms intensify.
This marks the second consecutive muggy night for the region, with no major cold front expected this week. Rain chances taper off by morning, but more isolated showers may return Thursday afternoon.
