After last week’s threat of an ice and snow event for Shreveport Bossier, this week is actually going to be a pretty nice week for most of us in the Arklatex, but this weekend, things are set to change. 

Throughout much of this week in Northwest Louisiana, temperatures will remain pretty mild for winter in the Bayou State. Many in the Arklatex will see sunny skies and highs ranging from the upper 50’s to even the lower 60's by the end of the week in some areas. 

This week, we're in for pleasant weather for the most part. But this weekend, a major cold front is set to travel across Texas and into North Louisiana which will change things drastically.

Arctic Blast Could Plunge Parts of Louisiana Into a Freeze 

But late this weekend, all of that is about to change.  As of forecasts today, Monday January 13, high temperatures in Shreveport will go from the low 60’s on Friday, to a high of 37 degrees on Monday. It will be even colder for a few days following the cold front's arrival, with the lows reaching down into the low 20’s. 

Dallas-Fort Worth will also see temperatures plunge Saturday into Sunday and Monday. Highs on Sunday and Monday are expected to be in the 30's in the DFW area. 

Will Louisiana Get Snow This Weekend? 

While some models have show temperatures ranging from highs in the 30’s and 40’s, and lows reaching down into the low 20’s, most of the precipitation called for is pretty much for a 38% chance of rain this Friday.  Though most of next week is expected to get cold, officials are not expecting a threat of snow or ice.  

That doesn't mean it won't snow, it's just too early to predict exactly what will happen. As most of us from around here know, just because officials call for something one day, that could change completely in a couple days!  But we’ll stay on top of it and keep you posted of all the latest developments.
