Louisiana wakes up to a mild, humid breeze as clouds drift over downtown Shreveport and traffic hums along I-20 under a gray early sky. It’s already 62 degrees late this morning, and the air feels more like April than early March.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, skies turn mostly sunny today with highs climbing to 82 degrees. South winds around 5 mph keep the air moving, and visibility remains clear across Caddo Parish. Roads stay dry, but the warmth builds quickly through midday.
Tonight turns partly cloudy with lows near 59 degrees. Tuesday pushes even warmer, reaching 84 degrees with south winds gusting up to 20 mph. That breeze signals change. A lifting boundary across the Southern Plains will begin drawing moisture north.
By Wednesday, highs rise to 85 degrees with a 20% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Winds may gust to 20 mph. Storm chances tick up to 30% Wednesday night into Thursday, when highs hold near 85 again. While widespread severe weather is not indicated locally, scattered downpours and lightning could disrupt outdoor plans. Stay weather-aware during the afternoon and evening hours.
Friday reaches 86 degrees with a 30% chance of showers. This is a true March warm spell. We gain nearly 70 minutes of daylight this month, and clocks spring ahead at 2 a.m. Sunday. Early signals favor above-normal temperatures into the 6–10 day window.
