SHREVEPORT, LA – Clouds hang low across northwest Louisiana this morning, signaling a shift toward cooler, unsettled weather as December begins. Damp air and north winds near 15 mph are keeping the day brisk, with temperatures topping out in the upper 40s.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, scattered showers will redevelop Monday, lasting into Monday night before clearing out early Tuesday. Rain could fall steady at times, particularly along I-20 and Highway 71, where localized ponding may slow traffic. The chance of precipitation climbs to 70% by Monday afternoon, then tapers off as colder air filters in overnight.
Travelers and commuters should expect wet pavement and gusty winds, especially during the Monday morning and evening drive. Temperatures will dip toward the mid-30s by Tuesday morning, signaling the start of a cooler, drier stretch for much of northern Louisiana.
Tuesday and Wednesday bring sunshine and calmer winds, with highs rebounding into the 50s before another rain system approaches late Wednesday night. By Friday, conditions look mild and dry — perfect for early holiday decorating or local travel plans heading into the first weekend of December.
