A cool front has brought cooler air across Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma on Saturday, with temperatures in Shreveport and surrounding areas holding steady in the low 70s to mid-80s. This is a drop from earlier in the week as the cool front moves south, bringing a noticeable change in the weather.
Scattered Showers Through the Afternoon
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, scattered showers will continue through the afternoon, with the best rain coverage expected in central Louisiana and east Texas. Areas like Natchitoches, Marshall, and El Dorado could experience brief downpours, while Shreveport and Texarkana will see more isolated showers.
Cooler Temperatures North of I-20
The cooler air is most noticeable north of Interstate 20, where many towns are struggling to reach the upper 70s under thick cloud cover. Farther south, including Lufkin and Alexandria, temperatures will remain warmer but still below seasonal norms.
Travel Advisory for Slick Roads
Roads may become slick during heavier bursts of rain, and drivers are urged to slow down and use headlights during afternoon showers.
Improving Conditions Overnight
The National Weather Service reports that conditions will improve overnight as the front settles farther south, although scattered showers may linger into Sunday morning.
