Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 619pm CDT Thu April 25 2024 Long Term (Sunday through next Wednesday) Issued at 344pm CDT Thu April 25 2024 For Sunday, a mid to upper level shortwave and accompanying surface low over the TX/OK Panhandle expected to move north northeast through Monday. The surface low with stronger high pressure across the East Coast will keep a tight pressure gradient over our region Sunday with ongoing southerly winds around 20-25 mph with gusts 30- 35 mph likely. The main area of lift expected to remain to our north and northwest, along with the greatest threat of severe weather for Sunday. However, the diffluent flow aloft will allow for increased chances of showers and thunderstorms north of I-10 by Sunday afternoon and Sunday night, with the highest chances expected Monday around 50-70%. WPC has areas outlined in a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall north of I-10 over SE TX/C LA for Monday, with a Marginal Risk elsewhere. Chances diminish down to 30-50% for Tuesday afternoon, and 20% or less for Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures will remain above normal with overnight lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s, and afternoon highs in the mid to upper 80s. Marine Issued at 211am CDT Thu April 25 2024 Starting on today winds will start to increase becoming moderate to strong. Winds will continue to increase on Friday with gusts up to 30 knots. The elevated winds will continue on Saturday as well before weakening on Sunday. Waves will also build in the outer waters reaching 7 feet or more by Friday morning. Lakes and bays will be rough to very rough conditions. A Small Craft Advisory is likely starting on Thursday night and lasting through Saturday as the pressure gradient further tightens across the area building seas further into the weekend under a strong southerly regime.
