| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1245pm CDT Wednesday April 8 2026 (Tonight through Tuesday Night) Issued at 1245pm CDT Wednesday April 8 2026 A dry continental remains in place this afternoon with RHs down into the mid 20s to around 40 across the region, however, moisture will gradually increase through the next few days. High pressure has shifted to the Atlantic coast this afternoon which will slowly turn the flow back onshore. This will drive an increase in dewpoints into the weekend. The moisture advection will be fairly meager with higher moisture values being confined to the coastal waters and into Texas. A few showers may be possible along the coast Thursday with scattered showers and a few storms possible along the coast into SE TX by Friday. Rainfall accumulation is expected to be minimal with most inland locations remaining dry. Saturday and Sunday an upper ridge will build over the SE states with a trough over the Rockies and plains. Moisture will advect north over Texas ahead of the trough with a few showers or storms possible over SE TX, but remaining dry across LA. The ridge may gradually erode from the northwest by the middle of next week, however rain chances are expected to remain low. Marine Issued at 1245pm CDT Wednesday April 8 2026 A light to moderate east to southeast flow will wax and wane with the pressure gradient into next week. This will keep winds and seas occasionally building up to SCA (Small Craft Advisory) criteria across the gulf waters then relaxing. The persistent east to onshore flow will also keep tides running around 1 foot above normal across the coast into next week. Fire Weather Issued at 1245pm CDT Wednesday April 8 2026 Min RHs will be in the mid 20s to upper 30s this afternoon, but gradually increase Thursday and Friday afternoons as the flow becomes more onshore. With the increase in moisture across the region, a few showers or thunderstorms may also be possible, however due to the low coverage very little relief from drought conditions are anticipated, if any at all. No widespread rainfall is forecast through the middle of next week. NOAA Lake Charles LA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories LA...None. TX...None. GM...Small Craft Advisory until 7pm CDT Thursday for GMZ452. Small Craft Advisory until 7pm CDT Thursday for GMZ455-472-475. |
