SHREVEPORT, La. - The Fall Equinox occurs Thursday evening at 8:03 p.m. CDT in Shreveport.

At that time, the sun will shine directly over the equator. Thus, equal hours of daylight and darkness should happen there.
And even though it's hot right now, decreasing hours of daylight will eventually cool us down. Next week, for example, highs are forecast in the 80s!
