| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1222pm CST Wednesday Feb 25 2026 .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Friday night) Issued at 1220pm CST Wednesday Feb 25 2026 The region remains sandwiched between high pressure centered over the Florida peninsula and a surface low over northeast Texas which will keep the pressure gradient tight through the remainder of today and through much of Thursday. A wind advisory remains in effect with the criteria easily being exceeded on the latest obs. The strong southerly winds have pushed dewpoints from the mid 20s this time yesterday into the upper 50s this afternoon which has produced an abundance of cloud cover. Winds will finally diminish Thursday evening with the approach and passage of a weak frontal boundary which will be accompanied by scattered showers and a few thunderstorms. While significant Quantitative Precipitation Forecast totals are not expected to begin with, there will likely be a sharp precipitation gradient with south central Louisiana receiving the bulk of any rain that occurs and southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana seeing only a few spotty showers with the frontal passage. Winds will turn briefly out of the north Friday with dewpoints dipping somewhat, but there won't be a dramatic difference in sensible weather between the two airmasses. Temperatures will continue to climb into the upper 70s to near 80 Friday afternoon. The coolest night of the period will be Saturday morning where temperatures will fall into the low to mid 50s away from the coast. Long Term (Saturday through next Tuesday) Issued at 1220pm CST Wednesday Feb 25 2026 High pressure will move east of the region Sunday setting up a persistent period of light to moderate southerly winds through the first half of next week. This will keep temperatures well above climatological normals with afternoon highs each day climbing to near 80 and overnight lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s. The warm temperatures and tropical airmass may support a few afternoon showers each day, but these will be very isolated with no significant precipitation expected through the end of next week. Marine Issued at 1220pm CST Wednesday Feb 25 2026 Strong onshore flow will persist through late Thursday morning before gradually beginning to diminish Thursday afternoon ahead of a weak cold front that will move through the coastal waters Thursday night turning light winds offshore Friday and Friday night. A few showers or thunderstorms may accompany the front with the highest probabilities along and south of Vermilion Bay. High pressure slides east of the region Saturday turning light winds back onshore Saturday afternoon through the middle of next week. Fire Weather Issued at 1220pm CST Wednesday Feb 25 2026 Much higher tropical moisture will continue to be lifted into the area by strong southerly winds this afternoon and Thursday. A weak cold front will push through the region Thursday night accompanied by scattered showers and a few thunderstorms. Northerly winds will develop in the wake of the front Friday which will bring dewpoints back down into the 50s. Return flow Saturday through the middle of next week will maintain a warm, humid low level environment.
