Shreveport, La. – Shreveport remains under a heat advisory through 8 p.m. Saturday as dangerous triple-digit temperatures and high humidity push heat index values as high as 114 degrees. Residents are urged to limit outdoor activity and stay hydrated to avoid heat-related illnesses.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, Saturday’s high will reach near 100 degrees with only a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms offering brief relief. Winds will stay light, shifting southerly in the afternoon before calming again overnight.
