WEATHERWISE DURING MAY 2023, SHREVEPORT RECORDED SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND BELOW NORMAL RAINFALL. HOWEVER, NO DAILY TEMPERATURE OR
RAINFALL RECORDS WERE SET DURING THE MONTH. THE ENTIRE MONTHLY RAINFALL
FELL DURING THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF THE MAY, BEFORE SURFACE RIDGING
BECAME ESTABLISHED OVER THE REGION DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE MONTH,
THUS SHUTTING OFF THE INFLOW OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF
MEXICO. THIS ALSO PROVIDED FOR A LONG DURATION OF MOSTLY COMFORTABLE
HUMIDITIES AND MORNING LOW TEMPERATURES DURING THIS TIME, DESPITE THE
HOTTER AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES OBSERVED BY THE END OF THE MONTH. AN
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DID DEVELOP AND AFFECT PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST
SHREVEPORT ON THE 13TH, WHICH DOWNED A COUPLE OF TREES AT ELLERBE ROAD AND
NORRIS FERRY ROAD. HOWEVER, NO MEASURABLE RAIN FELL AT THE SHREVEPORT
REGIONAL AIRPORT THAT DAY.
FOR THE CLIMATOLOGICAL SPRING (MARCH-APRIL-MAY) OF 2023, SHREVEPORT TIED
FOR THE 22ND WARMEST SPRING ON RECORD WITH 2020, 2007, 1946, 1936, 1933,
AND 1896 WITH AN AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OF 67.6 DEGREES. THE SPRING 2023
TOTAL RAINFALL RECORDED WAS 18.99 INCHES, WHICH SET THE 25TH WETTEST SPRING
ON RECORD, BUT STILL DRIER THAN THE SPRING OF 2016 (29.21 INCHES), 2015
