| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1217pm CDT Sat May 16 2026 (This evening through next Friday) Issued at 1212pm CDT Sat May 16 2026 Another warm and breezy day ongoing as the region remains sandwiched between high pressure over the western Atlantic and a low centered over eastern Colorado and western Kansas. Dewpoints range from the mid to upper 60s early this afternoon, but boundary layer mixing may bring them down a few degrees this afternoon keeping conditions from becoming too unpleasant. Some better mid level moisture is expected to work into the region Sunday offering an opportunity for a few scattered, diurnally driven, afternoon thunderstorms. This will continue Monday and Tuesday afternoons as well. While the majority of any convection is unlikely to have much in the way of meso or synoptic scale support, some models do indicate a few weak upper level disturbances transiting the region which could provide a localized focus for clusters of storms to develop. A more unsettled pattern is expected to develop beginning Wednesday through the end of the week as a subtropical trough digs across the gulf coast and remains in place. Periodic disturbances moving along the trough will produce increased cloud cover and enhanced precipitation chances each day. Despite last week's rains, many areas remain several inches below climatological normals for rainfall so the rainfall will be beneficial in continuing to alleviate the drought conditions across the region. Marine Issued at 1212pm CDT Sat May 16 2026 Breezy onshore winds between 15 and 20 knots will prevail through Monday as the region remains sandwiched between high pressure centered in the western Atlantic and low pressure centered over eastern Colorado and western Kansas. These winds will drive seas to between 2-6 feet Sunday and Monday. Winds and seas will begin to diminish Tuesday. Precipitation chances return over the coastal waters Wednesday through the end of the week as an upper level trough parks along the gulf coast. Fire Weather Issued at 1212pm CDT Sat May 16 2026 Warm, breezy and humid conditions will prevail through the upcoming week. Precipitation chances will increase Wednesday through the end of the week. Last week's rains have improved KBDI values which presently range from 155 to 337 across the region. NOAA Lake Charles LA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories LA...None. TX...None. GM...None. |
