Shreveport, LA – The National Weather Service in Shreveport has issued a freeze warning for Northwest Louisiana, lasting from midnight Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday. Temperatures are expected to drop to 28 degrees, impacting parishes like Caddo, Bossier, and Webster.
Residents are advised to protect tender plants and outdoor plumbing, as sub-freezing temperatures can cause damage. Wrapping pipes and letting faucets drip can prevent costly freeze-related issues. Outdoor pets, livestock, the elderly, and young children should also be looked after during this cold snap.
The freeze warning coincides with Thanksgiving weekend plans, and drivers are urged to be cautious due to potentially slippery roads caused by frost, especially on bridges and overpasses. The warning will end by 9 a.m. Saturday, but cold temperatures will continue throughout the weekend.
Stay safe and keep warm during this freeze warning in Northwest Louisiana.
