| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1248pm CDT Wednesday April 29 2026 (This evening through next Tuesday) Issued at 1234pm CDT Wednesday April 29 2026 A cold front is pushing south across Texas and north Louisiana this afternoon. Severe storms have developed across northeast Texas, north LA, and southern Arkansas as the front and associated upper disturbance interacts with the warm and unstable air mass. Through the afternoon and tonight, the cold front will continue southbound before gradually stalling along the coast early tomorrow. Moisture will continue stream ahead of the boundary with PWATs (Precipitable Waters) reaching to around 2" which is around the max observed for the date. Shear is forecast to be weak, however lapse rates above the weakening cap are substantial enough to produce severe storms with large hail. A low end tornado can not be ruled out, but hail, gusty winds, and very heavy rain are the main threats through late tonight. The frontal boundary is anticipated to stall along the coast Thursday with a frontal wave developing over Texas Friday. The weak low will sweep east through Friday and interact with the soupy air mass in place. PWATs (Precipitable Waters) are expected to remain in the 1.5-2" range which is at or above the 90th percentile for late April. Heavy/excessive rain is again possible Friday. Forecast rain amounts through the next 72 hours are generally between 1.5 to 4.5 inches, however some locations may receive around 6" over the 3 days. Higher totals are forecast from interior SE TX through Cen LA with the lower amounts along the coast. The event may put a dent in the drought with rainfall deficits for the year roughly ranging from 4 to 8". A cooler air mass will advect in during Friday with cooler weather expected to remain in place through the weekend. The ridge will shift east across the gulf coast Sunday with an onshore flow returning Sunday night into Monday. Dry weather is expected to remain in place while high pressure is in control through early Wednesday, however a few thunderstorms may return to the area by Wednesday afternoon. Marine Issued at 1234pm CDT Wednesday April 29 2026 A light onshore flow will remain in place into Thursday as a cold front stalls along the coast. A frontal low will sweep east across the region Friday with a strong offshore flow developing behind the low. Winds will gradually subside Saturday. A moderate flow will veer east and gradually decrease in speed through Sunday. An SCA (Small Craft Advisory) will be needed late Fri afternoon into Saturday. Fire Weather Issued at 1234pm CDT Wednesday April 29 2026 A warm and humid air mass will remain in place through Thursday as a cold front stalls overhead. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will be possible. A frontal wave will move across the region Friday with widespread rain and thunderstorms possible. Forecast rain amounts are 1.5 to 4.5" however some locations may receive more than 6" through early Saturday. NOAA Lake Charles LA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories LA...None. TX...None.
