WEATHERWISE DURING JUNE 2023, SHREVEPORT RECORDED ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND NEAR NORMAL RAINFALL. DAILY HIGHEST MINIMUM
TEMPERATURE RECORDS WERE SET THOUGH ON JUNE 20TH WHERE THE LOW
TEMPERATURE OF 79 DEGREES BEST THE PREVIOUS RECORD OF 78 DEGREES SET
BACK IN 2011. ANOTHER DAILY HIGHEST MINIMUM TEMPERATURE RECORD WAS
ALSO SET ON JUNE 28TH, WHERE THE LOW TEMPERATURE ONLY FELL TO 80
DEGREES, SURPASSING THE PREVIOUS RECORD OF 79 DEGREES SET BACK IN
1980. IN FACT, THIS LOW TEMPERATURE WAS ONLY TWO DEGREES SHY OF
TYING THE HIGHEST MINIMUM TEMPERATURE (82 DEGREES) FOR THE MONTH OF
JUNE, SET BACK ON JUNE 21ST, 1936. JUNE 2023 TIED FOR 19TH WARMEST
JUNE OF RECORD WITH 1932 WITH A DEPARTURE OF 1.9 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL, WELL BEHIND 1881 WHICH RECORDED THE WARMEST JUNE ON RECORD
WITH A MONTHLY TEMPERATURE OF 85.8 DEGREES, 4.9 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL. ALL BUT TWO-TENTHS OF THE MONTHLY RAIN FELL DURING THE FIRST
HALF OF JUNE, WITH THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURE RECORDED SO FAR THIS YEAR
OBSERVED ON THE 27TH WITH A READING OF 99 DEGREES.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WERE OBSERVED ON JUNE 3RD, WITH A 58 MPH WIND
GUST RECORDED AT THE SHREVEPORT REGIONAL AIRPORT. THESE WINDS DOWNED
MULTIPLE TREES AND POWER LINES ACROSS SHREVEPORT, WITH FLASH
FLOODING OCCURRING ACROSS CENTRAL SHREVEPORT INTO BOSSIER CITY.
UNFORTUNATELY, ONE FLOOD FATALITY OCCURRED WHEN A MALE DROVE HIS
VEHICLE INTO HIGH FLOOD WATERS ON HEARNE AVENUE NEAR DEVAUGHN STREET
AND RIGHTWAY AVENUE. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2-4+ INCHES FELL FROM THESE
STORMS WITHIN ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS` TIME. MORE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORM OF A DERECHO ROARED ACROSS NORTHEAST TEXAS
INTO MUCH OF NORTH LOUISIANA DURING THE LATE EVENING THROUGH THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS OF JUNE 15TH-16TH, WITH A 70 MPH WIND GUST
MEASURED AT THE SHREVEPORT REGIONAL AIRPORT DURING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS OF THE 16TH. HOWEVER, EVEN STRONGER WINDS OF 80-100+ MPH WERE
ESTIMATED FROM CENTRAL HARRISON COUNTY TEXAS THROUGHOUT CADDO AND
BOSSIER PARISHES, WITH NUMEROUS TREES AND POWER LINES DOWNED
THROUGHOUT SHREVEPORT. AN EVEN HIGHER WIND GUST OF 80 MPH WAS
MEASURED NEAR THE PORT OF SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER FROM THESE STORMS. THIS
RESULTED IN EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE AEP SWEPCO ELECTRICAL GRID, WITH
WIDESPREAD POWER OUTAGES LASTING 2-7+ DAYS ACROSS MUCH OF
SHREVEPORT/BOSSIER CITY. A BRIEF EF-1 TORNADO WITH ESTIMATED MAXIMUM
WINDS NEAR 110 MPH ALSO TOUCHED DOWN IN EXTREME EASTERN PANOLA
COUNTY TEXAS WHICH MOVED INTO SOUTHWEST CADDO PARISH NEAR THE FOUR
FORKS COMMUNITY AROUND 115 AM, SNAPPING AND UPROOTED MULTIPLE TREES
BEFORE LIFTING. OPPRESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY FOLLOWED THESE STORMS,
WITH A MAXIMUM HEAT INDEX OF 119 DEGREES MEASURED IN SHREVEPORT ON
THE 17TH. ANOTHER SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AFFECTED SHREVEPORT ON JUNE
26TH, WITH AT LEAST SEVERAL TREES AND POWER LINES DOWNED ACROSS THE
CITY. A 56 MPH WIND GUST WAS ALSO MEASURED AT THE SHREVEPORT
REGIONAL AIRPORT FROM THESE STORMS.
