| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1222am CDT Fri September 11 2026 (Today through Thursday) Issued at 1221am CDT Fri September 11 2026 The subtropical ridge remains stretched from the Atlantic into the northern gulf coast this morning. This continues to feed gulf moisture into SE TX and southern LA. Aloft, the ridge that has been over the much of the deep south has been eroded by a short wave over north TX and AR. A weak cold front is also over North TX and central AR, however the boundary will not make it to the local area. Today scattered to numerous storms are anticipated. The upper ridge has weakened and PWATs (Precipitable Waters) are running over the 90th percentile. With diurnal heating convection should get underway fairly early. Much of the same is anticipated Saturday. Very heavy rain may occur at times. Localized flooding could be a concern if a storm lingers over any metro area. Scattered to numerous afternoon storms are again anticipated Sunday, however coverage will be less than the previous days as a ridge begins to build aloft once again. Thunderstorm coverage will decrease farther into next week as a ridge lingers over the southeast states. Isolated to scattered afternoon storms will still be possible along the sea breeze each afternoon. Marine Issued at 1221am CDT Fri September 11 2026 Outside of storms, generally light southerly winds are anticipated through the period as high pressure remains centered off the Atlantic coast. Seas will also remain low. Fire Weather Issued at 1221am CDT Fri September 11 2026 High rain chances will linger through Sunday. No fire weather issues are anticipated.
