Weather Briefing
VFRShreveport Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 7,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 9 knots with gusts to 19 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component (gusting to 10 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 7000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
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.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Shreveport Regional Airport
Overview
Shreveport Regional Airport serves the northwestern Louisiana region as a medium-sized airport situated at 258 feet above mean sea level. 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.
