Weather Briefing
VFRShreveport Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,000 feet and 6 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 12 knots with gusts to 18 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component (gusting to 3 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 SM. The ceiling is 5000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 5,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 20 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 03:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

Located in Shreveport with coordinates 32.446602, -93.825600, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for commercial, private, and potentially military operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions at 73.2% of the time, with MVFR conditions occurring 14.9% of observations. The airport experiences a wide temperature range from -4°C to 36°C, with an average of 17.6°C. Wind conditions are typically from the south at an average of 7 knots, with calm periods occurring 20.7% of the time and occasional strong gusts up to 56 knots.
Notable Features
Both runways (06/24 and 14/32) are paved with asphaltic surfaces, offering substantial length at 6,202 feet and 8,351 feet respectively. The longer 14/32 runway provides extended operational flexibility. Visibility averages 9.3 statute miles, with limited periods of reduced visibility, including fog occurring in 1.9% of observations.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months with optimal weather conditions. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components (4.9 knots for 06/24 and 4.2 knots for 14/32). Pilots should anticipate predominantly southerly winds when planning approaches and departures.
