In the event you haven’t looked at Shreveport’s weather forecast for this week, it’s going to be dangerously hot.

Hopefully you aren’t shocked to learn that the National Weather Service has issued a Major Heat Risk for our area.
The real temperature in most of the Arklatex today is forecast to be at or just below 100.
Tomorrow will be around the same with some of the area seeing even higher temperatures and our heat index values will likely exceed 105 with some areas experiencing “feels like” temps ranging up to near 115 degrees, which necessitated the National Weather Service in Shreveport to issue an Extreme Heat Warning.
Quoting the old adage that perfectly suits us here in Louisiana, “It’s not the heat. It’s the damn heat.”
We have officially entered into the Hades portion of summer and for the next several weeks, these ‘Heat Advisories’ will become nearly laughable, as most of us, after hearing that the National Weather Service has issued one, will think to ourselves, “Well, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.”
If this is your first summer here in the Shreveport area, yes, I’m sorry, it does get like this every year…
