Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 519pm CST Fri Dec 8 2023 Long Term (Monday through next Thursday) If I had to pick two words to describe the longterm forecast period, they'd be cool and quiet. Much colder air arrives Sunday in the wake of a strong cold front moving through. High pressure then swiftly builds in overhead on Monday before it slides eastward on Tuesday. At this point, the high sets up over the eastern seaboard where it'll sit for the rest of the longterm period. Winds will respond to this high, becoming variable on Monday with a gradual turn to the east to southeast Tuesday through Friday. Otherwise, with high pressure dominating, expect dry weather through at least Thursday. Moisture returns slowly towards the end of the work week, with low end rain chances entering the forecast late Thursday or Friday. Seasonal daytime temperatures are expected over the longterm period with highs in the low to mid 60s each day. Overnight lows will start off chilly in the low 30s to low 40s Monday through Wednesday mornings. Thursday and beyond should then see improvement into the 40s with the return of moisture. 11/Calhoun Marine Moderate onshore winds will continue tonight through Saturday. A cold front passage Saturday night will bring widespread showers and thunderstorms along with the possibility for severe wind gusts and frequent cloud to water lightning. The main marine concern will be after the frontal passage by late Saturday night into Sunday as strong north winds develop with the possibility of frequent gale force wind gusts and high seas. Expanded the Gale Watch to include all 0-60nm marine zones, and high probability this will be upgraded to a Gale Warning overnight. With the strong offshore flow, water will be push away from the coast and low- water conditions for coastal lakes and bays will be possible. Late Sunday night high pressure will build in behind the front with a decrease in winds and a lowering of the seas. NOAA Lake Charles LA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories LA...None. TX...None. GM...Gale Watch from Saturday evening through Sunday morning for GMZ450-452-455-470-472-475. |
