| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 617pm CDT Thu August 27 2026 (This evening through next Wednesday) Issued at 1234pm CDT Thu August 27 2026 A weak and ill defined boundary will continue to provide a focus for showers and thunderstorms to develop this afternoon with the highest probabilities closer to the coast. Despite the very dry conditions across the region over the last month or so, some of these storms could produce high rainfall rates that could lead to some nuisance street flooding on secondary roads. Should this occur, it would likely only last a couple of hours at most as water will quickly drain off into very dry runoff areas. The combination of storms and cloud cover this morning have kept temperatures in the upper 70s to lower 80s through the morning. Still expect afternoon highs to climb into the upper 80s to lower 90s as intermittent peaks of sunshine quickly warm the surface. Convection will gradually dissipate through the evening although may hold on a bit longer than typical with the boundary providing mesoscale support beyond the traditional diurnal heating. Guidance has backed off Probability of Precipitation Friday and through the weekend as the area remains on the eastern periphery of a large upper level ridge centered over the southwestern U.S. There will likely be a few diurnally driven afternoon storms each day, but the majority of the region will return to the ongoing dry pattern. There remains significant divergence in guidance heading through next week, but the general pattern supports one or more weak tropical waves moving in the vicinity of the northern gulf coast. Whether these waves or the aforementioned upper ridge dominates the pattern remains highly uncertain. For now, will carry daily scattered (30- 50%) pops, but with temperatures gradually trending back above normal until the picture becomes more clear. Marine Issued at 1234pm CDT Thu August 27 2026 Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue over the coastal waters and coastal lakes and bays this afternoon into tonight. Precipitation chances will lower Friday, but a daily chance for showers and thunderstorms will develop again Saturday through next week. Prevailing winds will remain light and onshore through the middle of next week. Fire Weather Issued at 1234pm CDT Thu August 27 2026 Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue through the afternoon and early evening before diminishing tonight. Much lower precipitation chances are expected Friday through the weekend with chances climbing again each afternoon next week. The entire region remains in a moderate drought with KBDI values ranging from 500 to 760. Burn bans remain in effect for most parishes and counties across the region. MinRH values will range from around 55 to 65 percent through the weekend with light winds. NOAA Lake Charles LA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories LA...None. TX...None. GM...None. |
