| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1244am CDT Monday Jun 22 2026 (Today through Sunday) Issued at 1240am CDT Monday Jun 22 2026 Dry and hot is the forecast story for this week. Models are in strong agreement that the active Jet will remain well north of the forecast area and therefore keep opportunities for rainfall to a minimum at best. Temperatures today are slated to climb into the low to mid 90s- mainly across interior zones with light south breezes. An upper level trough is currently traversing the Missouri Valley. Prefrontal troughing will enter north Louisiana but encounter more stable air across central portions of the state, so chances are minimal and isolated at best toward Avoyelles and Rapides Parishes through this afternoon. Otherwise mostly sunny skies outside some high clouds and few low diurnally driven cumulus clouds. The hot and dry pattern continues Tuesday through the midweek as weak high pressure develops over the Gulf waters. Meanwhile, the aforementioned trough leaves a stationary front across portions of the Mississippi Valley into Thursday. Forecast soundings show a relatively warm lower troposphere suggesting the thermodynamic profile will not be particularly favorable for sustaining convection south of I-20. With mostly sunny skies expected through the middle of the week surface temperatures will continue to hover in the mid 90s for interior locations and low 90s near the I-10 corridor. By Friday, the upper air pattern broadens further with no major signals for organized precipitation to occur. Highs remain in the low to mid 90s with light to moderate southerly winds into following weekend. Kowalski / 30 Marine Issued at 1240am CDT Monday Jun 22 2026 Fresh breezes will ease to Gentle or Moderate breezes this afternoon as a pressure gradient begins to slack. Small Craft Exercise Caution is in place through the mid morning hours. High pressure will build in from the east early this week and remain in place through the end of the week resulting in a light onshore flow and low chances of storms. Fire Weather Issued at 1240am CDT Monday Jun 22 2026 No fire weather concerns through the forecast period. NOAA Lake Charles LA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories LA...None. TX...None.
