WEATHERWISE DURING JUNE 2026, SHREVEPORT RECORDED SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND ABOVE NORMAL RAINFALL. THE JUNE RAINS WERE MORE TIMELY
AND SIGNIFICANT ACROSS THE METRO AREA THAN THEY WERE DURING MAY, WHICH DID
RESULT IN MULTIPLE DAYS (NEARLY 2 WEEKS) FALLING BELOW 90 DEGREES. BUT THE
EXTENT OF NIGHT TIME COOLING WAS MORE LIMITED DESPITE THE CLOUD COVER AND
RAINFALL, HENCE THE REASON WHY MONTHLY AVERAGE TEMPERATURES TRENDED SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL. NO TEMPERATURE RECORDS WERE SET IN SHREVEPORT DURING JUNE, BUT
A DAILY MAXIMUM RAINFALL RECORD WAS SET ON THE 15TH WHEN 2.57 INCHES WAS
RECORDED AT THE SHREVEPORT REGIONAL AIRPORT, BESTING THE PREVIOUS RECORD
OF 1.85 INCHES SET BACK ON THIS SAME DAY IN 1898. THE 7.42 INCHES THAT
FELL IN SHREVEPORT DURING THE MONTH RANKED AS THE 15TH WETTEST JUNE ON
RECORD, THE WETTEST JUNE SINCE 2019 (8.08 INCHES), BUT WELL BEHIND THE
RECORD WETTEST JUNE OF 17.11 INCHES OBSERVED BACK IN 1989.

STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MOVED ACROSS SHREVEPORT ON JUNE 2ND, DOWNING
A FEW TREES ACROSS THE CITY, WHILE ALSO PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAINFALL IN A
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WHICH LED TO LOCALIZED FLOODING. ADDITIONAL SLOW
MOVING THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAINFALL LED TO MORE SIGNIFICANT
FLASH FLOODING ACROSS THE SHREVEPORT/BOSSIER CITY AREA ON THE 15TH, WHERE
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1.5-3+ INCHES FELL IN 1-2 HOURS TIME IN CENTRAL AND
EAST SHREVEPORT AND BOSSIER CITY. NUMEROUS ROADS WERE FLOODED AND IMPASSABLE,
WITH MULTIPLE WATER RESCUES NEEDED AS CARS STALLED IN THE HIGH WATER ACROSS
THE TWIN CITIES, AND SEVERAL HOMES FLOODED IN THE BROADMOOR AREA.

EXTREME (D3) AND SEVERE (D2) DROUGHT CONDITIONS THAT BLANKETED CADDO AND
BOSSIER PARISHES TO START JUNE QUICKLY SAW RELIEF DURING THE FIRST FEW
WEEKS OF THE MONTH, AS AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER IN THE
FORM OF NEAR DAILY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, SOME CONTAINING HEAVY RAINFALL,
WERE OBSERVED. WIDESPREAD MONTHLY RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3-9+ INCHES FELL ACROSS
MUCH OF CADDO AND BOSSIER PARISHES DURING JUNE, WITH THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS
NEAR OR IN EXCESS OF 10 INCHES FALLING ACROSS NORTHERN CADDO AND BOSSIER
PARISHES. 5-8+ INCHES FELL ACROSS THE SHREVEPORT/BOSSIER CITY METRO AREAS
DURING THE MONTH, WHICH BROUGHT WIDESPREAD MULTIPLE CATEGORY RELIEF TO THE
LONG TERM DROUGHT WITH A ONE TO TWO CATEGORY IMPROVEMENT TO MODERATE (D1)
AND ABNORMALLY DRY (D0) BY THE END OF THE MONTH. THE MORE DISCERNIBLE AREAS
OF MODERATE DROUGHT REMAINED OVER SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHERN CADDO PARISH JUST
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF SHREVEPORT, WITH ABNORMALLY DRY CONDITIONS NOTED ELSEWHERE
ACROSS CADDO AND BOSSIER PARISHES.
