Sponsor Our ArticlesShreveport is experiencing severe winter weather leading to school closures. Two Caddo Parish schools have suspended classes due to power outages, while others have opted for virtual learning. With temperatures expected to drop significantly and a winter storm watch in effect, residents are advised to take precautions and stay informed about potential hazards and school updates.
Shreveport, Louisiana, is bracing itself for a chilly winter surprise as two Caddo Parish schools have already announced closures due to power outages. Walnut Hill Elementary/Middle School and AMI Kids won’t be holding classes this Wednesday, leaving parents scrambling to find alternative arrangements.
An arctic blast has swept into our fair region, bringing with it freezing temperatures that are turning heads! Light rain fell overnight across north Louisiana, but it’s the road conditions that have those in charge of safety concerned. For now, the Shreveport-Bossier metro area is managing without icy roads, but if you head into the rural parts, be on the lookout for potential ice hazards. Better safe than sorry!
In addition to the two closed schools in Caddo Parish, it appears Wednesday is a lost day for many students in nearby areas as well. Claiborne Parish has opted for virtual learning, while Webster Parish, Minden Montessori, and Glenbrook School have shut their doors entirely for the day. However, students in Caddo and Bossier Parishes are fortunate enough to still have school. Remember to check each school’s specific guidelines if you’re in the area!
The rain is making its exit, but it’s bringing a chill with it! As the temperatures start to drop, residents of Shreveport can expect temperatures to dip to a brisk 18 degrees Wednesday night. With those numbers, the wind chill could feel as low as a startling 5 degrees—definitely not the type of weather to linger outside in!
Attention all Shreveport residents: the U.S. National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch and warning for North Louisiana. This storm is expected to kick in early on Thursday, January 9, at 6 a.m., and will hang around until noon on Friday, January 10. While the main impact will hit areas north of us, northern Louisiana is not out of the woods yet!
As for what to expect, brace yourself for mixed precipitation, which could lead to ice accumulations of up to half an inch. And if that wasn’t enough, you might want to keep a snow shovel handy, as snow accumulation could reach between two and six inches.
For those who are planning to hit the road during this severe wintery weather, the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office has some cautionary advice: drive with care! The combination of freezing temperatures and potential icy conditions means that motorists should take extra precautions. Remember, safety first!
So, as we look forward to what this winter storm will bring, make sure you stay updated and take care of yourselves and your families. This weather can be unpredictable, and it’s always better to be prepared. Stay warm out there, Shreveport!
