| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1218pm CDT Fri Jun 26 2026 (This evening through next Thursday) Issued at 1212pm CDT Fri Jun 26 2026 Broad upper-level ridging stretches across much of the Gulf Coast. At the surface, high pressure in the Atlantic continues to keep winds onshore. For the next several days, showers and thunderstorms will be rare as the upper-level ridge continues to build overhead. This ridge will keep conditions hot and dry, with temperatures four to five degrees above normal for this time of year. High temperatures will be in the low 90s along the coast and the mid-90s in the interior portions of southeast Texas and central Louisiana. Heat index values will reach well into the triple digits each afternoon. Everyone should practice heat safety by staying hydrated and taking breaks from the heat. Starting on Monday, the ridge will begin to shift to the northeast as it strengthens. This system will cause temperatures to skyrocket on the Eastern Seaboard. Thankfully, we will be on the southern edge of the ridge, and our heat impacts will be more limited. As the ridge moves north deep layer subsidence will weaken and, rain chances will start to increase, with Probability of Precipitation around 50% by Wednesday and through the end of the week. Since we will be on the south side of the high pressure system, any shortwave troughs that rotate around the ridge will move from the east to west. Which is opposite from our typical west to east upper level pattern. On an interesting note, a large blob of Saharan dust is making its way across the Atlantic and is currently located over Hispaniola. While the dust is not much of a weather concern, it will lower visibility and could affect groups that are sensitive to poor air quality. It will also cause sunsets to be more radiant early next week. Marine Issued at 1212pm CDT Fri Jun 26 2026 Winds will remain onshore around 10 knots with a few gusts around 20 knots. The elevated gusts will last through the night and an exercise caution statement is in effect for mariners. Weather conditions will be calm for the next five days. Waves will be between 1 and 4 feet. Fire Weather Issued at 1212pm CDT Fri Jun 26 2026 Hot and dry weather will continue into next week with temperatures in the low to mid 90s. Minimum RH values are expected to be between 50 and 70% with higher values near the coast and lower values farther inland. KBDI values remain below 300 for most of the area and fire concerns remain low. NOAA Lake Charles LA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories LA...None. TX...None. GM...None. |
