Shreveport, Louisiana – Warm, muggy air hangs over northwest Louisiana before sunrise, softening streetlights and leaving a thin humidity sheen on roads. Commuters starting early may find patchy fog in spots, especially around low-lying areas near lakes and open fields, so slower speeds and added distance will help on the morning drive.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, today stays partly sunny with highs reaching the mid-80s, well above typical November levels. Winds turn breezy from the southwest with gusts near 20 mph, keeping the air warm but unsettled as Thanksgiving week inches closer. Patchy fog redevelops early Wednesday before sunshine returns and temperatures again climb into the 80s.
Moisture begins to deepen Wednesday night, marking the first signal of a more active pattern. Clouds thicken Thursday, and models hint at scattered afternoon showers with a small chance of a rumble of thunder. Any developing storms could briefly reduce visibility or create wet pavement on I-20, I-49, and U.S. 71—key corridors for early Thanksgiving travelers across the Ark-La-Tex.
Thursday night brings a higher chance of showers, and rain becomes more likely Friday as a broader disturbance passes across Texas and Louisiana. While severe weather is not dominant in current signals, the atmosphere carries enough instability for localized downpours that may slow travel and increase hydroplaning risks. Travelers beginning long trips toward Dallas, Little Rock, or Jackson should plan extra time.
Saturday trends drier with highs in the lower 70s before a slight chance of showers returns Sunday. The weekend’s mild weather may offer a reasonable window for yard work or early holiday prep before cooler air approaches next week.
