| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 628pm CDT Fri May 15 2026 (This evening through next Thursday) Issued at 206pm CDT Fri May 15 2026 With the surface high pressure now centered off to the east of us, southerly flow has returned. There is a somewhat tightened pressure gradient over the area, which has led to some obs sites reporting gusts around 20mph. Southerly winds along with higher dewpoints and temperatures that are warmer than normal will prevail for the duration of this period. Not much change regarding the overall setup expected this weekend and into next week. Aloft, the upper ridge will continue to flatten today, with a brief transition into near zonal flow for the weekend. Sunday into the consecutive work week will see a wetter pattern change as an upper trough takes shape over the western CONUS and a series of disturbances moves across. Forecast PWATs (Precipitable Waters) from Sunday will be at or above the 75th percentile, with PWATs (Precipitable Waters) for the rest of the consecutive work week expected to remain between the 90th and max. This will lead to daily (and some nightly) showers and storms beginning Sunday and carrying on through the rest of the week. Increasing cloud cover and rain may somewhat limit daytime warming, however, overnight temperatures will struggle to drop due to the blanket of clouds. Marine Issued at 206pm CDT Fri May 15 2026 High pressure has begun to lift toward the northeast, leading to a shift in wind from the south and southeast between 10 and 15 kts and wave heigheights around 1 to 2 ft. The high will continue to move northeast and inland by Saturday evening, which will allow for some increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms, and leading to an increase in southeasterly winds to up to 20 kts with wave heigheights between 4 and 5 ft. Waves will continue to increase throughout the weekend into early next week with max heights around 6 ft. A small craft advisory may be needed beginning on Sunday evening. Fire Weather Issued at 206pm CDT Fri May 15 2026 Southerly flow to prevail for the duration of the forecast period, bringing in a moisture rich airmass. The area will remain rain free for a few days, however chances of showers and storms will return and remain in the forecast from Sunday.
