SHREVEPORT, La. – Warm fall sunshine across northwest Louisiana will give way to a round of storms late Saturday, bringing cooler, drier air to close the weekend. Highs in the upper 80s Friday and Saturday will drop nearly 15 degrees by Sunday as a weak cold front pushes through.
According to the National Weather Service in Shreveport, showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop Saturday afternoon along the I-20 corridor, including Bossier City, Minden, and Marshall, Texas. Rain could fall heavily for brief periods, reducing visibility and slicking roadways. Drivers should plan for slower travel during late-day errands or high school football traffic.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation urges caution for motorists traveling east toward Ruston or Monroe Saturday evening, especially where ponding could occur in low-lying sections of I-20. Residents should secure lightweight Halloween decorations and outdoor furniture before storms roll through. Gusts near 20 mph and scattered lightning are possible before calmer conditions return Sunday…
