Shreveport Weather

Are you ready for the temperature drop in Shreveport-Bossier?

A tornado watch is in effect until 4am for much of the Arklatex. This includes Shreveport Bossier and most of Northwest Louisiana.

The threat of sleet, snow and slippery roads has local residents concerned about conditions as the first winter storm of the year arrives. KEEL news will bring you up to date coverage if any roads are closed, but we wanted to share with you some great links to help you stay of top of road conditions.

OK, we've had way too many days with temperatures over 100. And too few days of rain! Because of that, back in August, the city of Shreveport had asked for voluntary water conservation.

If you think the heat has been making you uncomfortable, just imagine how bad it is for those suffering from asthma! The high heat, humidity, and lack of wind have prompted state officials to declare today an Ozone Action Day here in Shreveport.

The Weather Channel has updated the long range forecast for the holiday weekend and things will be getting better.

Mother nature had teased us with a chance of rain the last two days. Then, on the day with the least chance for rain, we got rain... Plus wind and lightning. But, no matter how the rain came, I'm just glad it came. Heck, I'd almost forgotten what that liquid from the sky was!!!

The Weather Channel is projecting a major change for our weather by Labor Day. In fact, the high temperatures will only reach 90 degrees on Friday, September 2nd.

Here's a look at the numbers for Shreveport  for Thursday and Friday from The Weather Channel:

Is it ever going to rain again? This summer has been crazy. Dry, hot, and did I mention dry and hot? First it was Shreveport. Then Blanchard. Now, Haughton is asking help in conserving water.

This heat and dry spell has just been brutal! I think the last time I remember rain was 1980 something!!! Last week, the city of Shreveport asked residents to conserve water. Today, I got an email from Cindy at the Blanchard Utility Department about their water situation.

Let's see... 43 days of 100 plus temperatures... And no rain. It's been a crazy summer so far! Not only has the weather been creating a high demand on the power grid, it's also placing a huge demand on the water systems. The city of Shreveport today asked residents to voluntarily conserve water. That way, there won't be a need for any mandatory measures.
