Shreveport, Louisiana – Another stretch of oppressive heat is gripping northwest Louisiana, with Shreveport expected to reach highs near 98°F by Friday and heat index values climbing as high as 103°F through the weekend. With little overnight cooling and calm winds, the risk of heat-related illness will climb, especially for vulnerable populations.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, daily highs will remain locked in the mid to upper 90s through at least Sunday. Humidity will drive the heat index above 100°F most afternoons, while nighttime lows will struggle to dip below the mid-70s, offering limited relief.
Thursday: Mostly sunny and hot, with a high of 96°F and a heat index around 103°F. Winds will stay light and variable.

Monday: Still dry, hot, and in the mid-90s with no rain relief in sight.
Residents are urged to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity during peak heat hours, and check on elderly neighbors or those without air conditioning. No rain is forecast until mid-next week, meaning this stagnant weather pattern will persist.
