Shreveport Weather Forecast: Cloudy Thursday with Rain Expected This Weekend

Shreveport Weather Update: Cloudy Skies and Rain Ahead!

Happy Thursday, folks in Shreveport, Louisiana! It looks like the weather today is going to be a mixed bag, but the good news is we’re on our way to some warmer temperatures. Expect a mostly cloudy day with thermometers likely rising to the upper 70s. For some lucky spots, you might enjoy a little extra sunshine to help you reach the lower 80s this afternoon. How about that?

But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves! While we might see a glimpse or two of sunshine, don’t be surprised if an isolated shower pops up here and there. Overall, though, it looks like this day will lean more towards being mainly dry. As we roll into the evening, temperatures will dip down into the lower 60s as the clouds stick around.

What’s Coming Tomorrow?

Now, let’s talk about Friday! The forecast is bringing a change in the weather, mainly after sunset. Get ready because widespread rain is expected, starting out in East Texas during the evening and making its way into the rest of the region throughout the night. While Friday will kick off on a dry note, it’s going to be cloudy and misty all day, with high temperatures slightly dipping to the mid to upper 70s.

If you’re planning any outdoor activities, you might want to keep an umbrella handy, especially as rain will continue to be scattered through the start of the weekend. Saturday might just be that rainy day we’ve all been waiting for! There will be isolated groups of showers—so a little bit of rain isn’t out of the question, especially in the morning.

Weekend Rainfall and Sunshine Ahead

If you’re hoping for a bright and sunny weekend, don’t lose heart just yet! The rain is forecasted to ease by Saturday afternoon, with just a few isolated groups of storms passing through Northwest Louisiana on Sunday. The rest of the area should start to dry out, bringing a sigh of relief for those eager to enjoy the great outdoors.

When we finally reach Monday, we’ll be able to bask in glorious dry conditions again! Expect some lovely sunshine to warm things up as the highs move back into the lower 80s. This warm sunshine should stick around through Wednesday before we potentially gear up for another round of rain later next week. So make the most of that lovely weather while it lasts!

Quick Look at the Drought Situation

Before we wrap up here, let’s take a moment to reflect on the good news regarding our local drought situation. According to the latest reports from the U.S. Drought Monitor, there’s been significant improvement across the entire ArkLaTex region! This is fantastic news for our community, and it’s expected that we’ll see more improvement even again next week. Rainfall is always a welcome sight, especially when it leads to greener pastures!

So there you have it, Shreveport! A bit of a cloudy Thursday, some rain heading our way for the weekend, and a beautiful sunny start to next week. Keep those umbrellas handy just in case, and enjoy the weather—whatever it may bring!
