Shreveport Braces for Stormy Weather as Halloween Approaches

Shreveport Weather Update: A Spooky Halloween Ahead!

Hey there, friends in Shreveport! Happy Wednesday to you all! If you noticed that thing lingering around us today, it’s probably the humidity. That’s right, it’s feeling quite warm and sticky outside, and we’re going to see more of these cloudy skies hanging around the ArkLaTex region. Along with that, there’s a good chance for some scattered showers and storms as we get deeper into the afternoon hours.

Warm Temperatures and Wind

Today’s high temperatures are expected to hit the low to mid-80s, making it a toasty day overall. Let’s not forget about the wind! It’s breezy out there, and you might want to take a moment to check on any Halloween decorations you’ve put up—make sure they’re well secured, as the wind could play a trick on your spooky setup!

Looking Towards the Night

Fast forward to tonight, and it looks like we’ll see a few more clouds floating over us, with lows creeping near 70 degrees. More importantly, showers and storms are on the way, moving in overnight. This sets the stage for a rather eventful Halloween celebration!

Prepare for a First Alert Weather Day on Halloween

Now, here’s where things get interesting. We’re under a First Alert Weather Day for Halloween Thursday! As we approach the morning, a line of scattered storms will move into Shreveport from Southeast Oklahoma. These storms could make a splashy entrance just in time for early trick-or-treaters. They’ll be rolling toward Natchitoches in the afternoon, so keep an eye on the skies!

Severe Weather Outlook

As for the potential weather threats, we’re mainly looking at hail and high wind gusts. While tornadoes aren’t the primary concern, they can’t be ruled out entirely with this system. So, you might want to check your weather alerts throughout the day as we monitor how this system behaves.

Evening Trick-or-Treating

If you’re wondering about trick-or-treating in the evening, you’ll be relieved to hear that while a few storms may linger, the severe weather should be winding down by that time. Temperatures are expected to be in the upper 70s and lower 80s, making it a comfortable evening for costumes—just watch where you’re stepping!

What’s on the Horizon? More Rain Ahead!

Now, let’s chat about the days beyond Halloween. Unfortunately, it looks like rain is going to stick around in our forecast for a bit longer. Isolated rounds of storms will keep coming our way from Friday through the weekend, with potential rainfall continuing into Monday. We’re looking at rain totals anywhere from about one inch to four inches over the next week. So, don’t forget your umbrellas!

Weekend Weather

For Friday and Saturday, expect high temperatures to stay in the upper 70s and lower 80s. By next week, we’re set to see those temperatures creep up into the mid-80s! How about that for a bit of a warm autumn surprise?

So, there you have it, Shreveport! Stay prepared as we dive into this Halloween and the following week. Whether you’re out enjoying the festivities or hiding from the rain, keep your spirits up and your weather apps handy!
