WEATHERWISE DURING SEPTEMBER 2025, SHREVEPORT RECORDED ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND BELOW NORMAL RAINFALL. WHILE SHREVEPORT DID NOT
RANK WITHIN THE TOP 25 DRIEST SEPTEMBERS ON RECORD, THE CITY DID
OBSERVE ITS 17TH WARMEST SEPTEMBER IN RECORDED HISTORY, AND ITS
WARMEST SINCE 2023. NO DAILY TEMPERATURE OR RAINFALL RECORDS WERE
TIED OR SET DURING THE MONTH, NOR WERE THERE ANY TRIPLE DIGIT
TEMPERATURES OBSERVED IN THE CITY. ONLY FOUR DAYS RECORDED
MEASURABLE RAINFALL DURING SEPTEMBER, BELOW THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF 7
DAYS. NO DROUGHT CONDITIONS WERE OBSERVED DURING THE MONTH, GIVEN
THE FACT THAT GROUNDS REMAINED SUFFICIENTLY MOIST FOLLOWING THE
WIDESPREAD 2.5-5+ INCH RAINFALL TOTALS THAT FELL ON AUGUST 28TH-
29TH. HOWEVER, ABNORMALLY DRY CONDITIONS DID BEGIN TO DEVELOP VERY
LATE IN THE MONTH WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND ABNORMALLY LOW
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES HELPING TO FUEL A LARGE WILDFIRE WHICH BURNED
~10 ACRES OF BRUSH AND A HEAVILY WOODED AREA ALONG BERT KOUNS NEAR
PINES ROAD IN SOUTHWEST SHREVEPORT. IN ADDITION TO MULTIPLE UNITS
FROM THE SHREVEPORT FIRE DEPARTMENT AND SURROUNDING CADDO FIRE
DISTRICTS, CONTAINMENT REQUIRED THE ASSISTANCE FROM THE LOUISIANA
DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY TO PREVENT THIS FIRE FROM SPREADING INTO THE
SURROUNDING HEAVILY WOODED AREAS.

AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DID AFFECT DOWNTOWN SHREVEPORT ON
THE 21ST, WHERE ESTIMATED 70 MPH WINDS SNAPPED SEVERAL LARGE TREE
LIMBS NEAR THE SHREVEPORT RIVERFRONT. SMALL HAIL WAS ALSO REPORTED
IN CENTRAL AND DOWNTOWN SHREVEPORT AS WELL FROM THIS STORM. ANOTHER
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM TRACKED JUST NORTH OF SHREVEPORT ON THE 24TH,
WITH DAMAGING WINDS DOWNING A TREE SEVERAL MILES WEST OF BLANCHARD,
WHILE ALSO SNAPPING MULTIPLE LARGE LIMBS AS WELL. LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL OF 1-2+ INCHES THAT FELL FROM THESE STORMS IN A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME ALSO RESULTED IN FLASH FLOODING IN DOWNTOWN
SHREVEPORT, WHERE HIGH WATER COVERED GRIMMETT DRIVE.
