WEATHERWISE DURING NOVEMBER 2023, SHREVEPORT RECORDED ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND BELOW NORMAL RAINFALL. HOWEVER, THE NOVEMBER
MONTHLY AVERAGE TEMPERATURE AND TOTAL RAINFALL FAILED TO PLACE
WITHIN THE TOP 30 WARMEST AND DRIEST NOVEMBERS ON RECORD. WIDESPREAD
SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES WERE OBSERVED FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS FALL
SEASON ACROSS MUCH OF THE SHREVEPORT/BOSSIER CITY METROPOLITAN AREA
ON NOVEMBER 2ND, ALTHOUGH THE SHREVEPORT REGIONAL AIRPORT FAILED TO
REACH FREEZING FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH, WITH A LOWEST TEMPERATURE OF 33
DEGREES RECORDED ON THE 2ND. A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 86 DEGREES
WAS OBSERVED ON THE 7TH, TYING THE OLD RECORD OF 86 DEGREES SET JUST
LAST YEAR (2022). NO SEVERE WEATHER WAS OBSERVED ACROSS THE
SHREVEPORT/BOSSIER CITY AREAS OR NORTHWEST LOUISIANA DURING THE MONTH
OF NOVEMBER.
FOR THE FALL-TIME MONTHS (SEPT-NOV), SHREVEPORT RECORDED MUCH ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND BELOW NORMAL RAINFALL. IN FACT, FALL 2023
TIED FOR THE 5TH WARMEST ON RECORD WITH 2005 WITH AN AVERAGE
TEMPERATURE OF 70.5 DEGREES (3.0 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL), AND THE
WARMEST FALL SINCE 2016 WHEN THE 2ND WARMEST TEMPERATURE WAS
RECORDED (71.5 DEGREES). THE FALL 2023 TOTAL RAINFALL WAS 10.95
INCHES, WHICH WAS 1.10 INCHES BELOW NORMAL, AND DID NOT RANK WITHIN
THE TOP 30 DRIEST ON RECORD. THE INCREASE IN RAINFALL DID YIELD
IMPROVING DROUGHT CONDITIONS ACROSS THE SHREVEPORT/BOSSIER CITY
AREAS BY LATE SEPTEMBER, WHICH CONTINUED THROUGH LATE OCTOBER BEFORE
A PERIOD OF ABNORMALLY DRY CONDITIONS RETURNED THROUGHOUT NOVEMBER.
AS OF THE NOVEMBER 28TH ISSUANCE OF THE U.S. DROUGHT MONITOR,
MODERATE DROUGHT CONDITIONS ARE IN PLACE ACROSS EXTREME NORTHWEST
LOUISIANA, INCLUDING MUCH OF CADDO, BOSSIER, AND NORTHERN DESOTO
PARISHES.
