| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 456am CDT Wednesday September 11 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TER Marine .SHORT TERM... (Today through Friday night) Issued at 440am CDT Wednesday September 11 2024 Hurricane Francine currently sits in the northwest Gulf, due south of Cameron, LA by roughly 170 miles. It is currently a 90 MPH Category 1 hurricane and is expected to strengthen slightly more into a strong Category 1 hurricane with 100 MPH winds before landfall along Vermilion Bay later this afternoon or evening. Expect conditions to consistently degrade after sunrise for those along and east of HWY 167, and most primarily for those along the Atchafalaya Basin. A tight gradient of rainfall should develop with those along and west of HWY 167 seeing very light rainfall and low rainfall totals today/tonight. Francine will move to the northeast rather quickly and improving conditions will develop into Thursday morning. Some lingering light rainfall and breezy conditions can be expected for much of Louisiana into Thursday morning; Thursday afternoon for central and north Louisiana. Strong northwest flow around the storm center in north Mississippi will send drier air back down into central and south Louisiana by Friday morning, bringing about a pleasant start to the weekend. 11/Calhoun Long Term (Saturday through Wednesday) Issued at 440am CDT Wednesday September 11 2024 The mid to upper level pattern will remain west to west northwest through the weekend with no significant moisture or lift to generate any precipitation. Monday through Wednesday, limited low level moisture may generate some isolated afternoon showers, but chances remain less than 20%. Temperatures through the period will see highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s, with lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s each day. Marine Issued at 440am CDT Wednesday September 11 2024 Conditions will deteriorate this morning as Hurricane Francine approaches and moves over coastal waters this afternoon. Francine will then make landfall on the south central Louisiana coastline this afternoon or evening. Conditions will improve from west to east Thursday morning with the departure of Francine and relaxing pressure gradient.
