Hey, Shreveport! If you’ve been enjoying the recent mild weather, don’t get too comfortable—Mother Nature has other plans. Wednesday’s forecast is looking rough, with strong storms, gusty winds, and possibly even hail moving into town. But if you can make it through that, we’ve got some gorgeous spring weather coming your way just in time for the weekend.
Let’s break it down so you know what to expect.
Wednesday, March 12: Storms Are Coming—Stay Alert!
Wednesday is going to be one of those tricky weather days where things seem fine at first, but by the afternoon, you’ll want to keep an umbrella (and maybe even a helmet) nearby.
- The morning? Not bad at all. It’ll be partly sunny, breezy, and warming up into the low 70s.
- By late afternoon? Boom. Storm clouds roll in, and we could see some strong to severe thunderstorms.
What’s the risk?
- Gusty winds strong enough to knock down trees and power lines.
- Hail that could be large enough to do some real damage.
- Heavy rain that might cause flash flooding in some spots.
What should you do?
- Keep an eye on weather alerts (turn on those phone notifications).
- Secure patio furniture, trash cans, or anything that could blow away.
- Stay indoors when the worst of the storms hit.
Thursday, March 13: It’s Like Spring Hit the Fast-Forward Button
If you can ride out Wednesday’s storms, Thursday is going to reward you with a taste of summer.
- We’re talking sunshine, fewer clouds, and highs around 82°F (28°C).
- It’ll be warm and breezy, but overall, a fantastic day to get outside.
Not bad for mid-March, right?
Friday, March 14: Warm & Breezy… But Another Storm Chance
Friday keeps the warm trend going, with another day in the low 80s. But—because Louisiana weather loves to keep us on our toes—a few thunderstorms could pop up in the afternoon.
Not expecting anything major, but still…
Keep an umbrella handy just in case.
The Weekend: The Kind of Weather You Wish You Could Bottle Up
The real treat comes this weekend. Saturday and Sunday are looking absolutely gorgeous—think plenty of sunshine, warm temps, and barely any chance of rain.
After the stormy midweek rollercoaster, it’s the perfect excuse to:
✔ Fire up the grill
✔ Go for a walk or hike
✔ Just sit outside and soak it all in
Final Thoughts
So, here’s the game plan for the week:
- Brace for storms on Wednesday—charge your devices, tie down anything that could fly away, and stay indoors when the worst of it hits.
- Enjoy the warmth from Thursday onward—spring is really starting to show off.
- Make weekend plans—it’s going to be beautiful, so take full advantage!
