Shreveport Weather Report: Some Fog, Some Sun, and Quite a Story!
Good day, Shreveport! As we dive into this beautiful early December day, you’re likely to encounter some patchy fog, especially if you head out early. But don’t let that dampen your spirits! As the sun starts to make its way through the clouds later in the afternoon, we can expect a high of around 68°F. So, if you’re planning to step out, you might want to grab those sunglasses!
Winds at Your Back
Winds are looking mild, blowing from the south at a nice, easygoing 5 to 10 mph. It’s the kind of day that’s perfect for a stroll in the park or grabbing a coffee with friends. Just keep in mind that as the evening rolls in, the skies will turn partly cloudy before settling into a snug blanket of cloud cover overnight. Seek your coziest spot as temperatures drop to around 50°F—perfect for curling up with a warm drink.
What’s Buzzing Around Town?
Meanwhile, in Ruston, things took a different turn with a fire that damaged several units at the Relax Inn. Emergency services were on the scene, working hard to control the situation. We hope those affected find shelter and support as they navigate the aftermath.
