| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1231am CDT Wednesday August 12 2026 (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 1215am CDT Wednesday August 12 2026 Outside of current temperatures being a touch higher, very similar conditions to 24h ago. Some areas are still lingering in the lower 80s with elevated dewpoints, making it quite humid out. Areas of high pressure at the surface will meander over the SECONUS and Gulf before expanding westward over LA/TX. This will keep flow generally light and southerly going into the weekend. Aloft we have a ridge almost directly overhead and covering move of the Gulf and into the Southern Plains. The upper ridge is still forecast to expand westward and become centered over the Lower Mississippi River Valley through the week, then meander into the weekend before slowly shifting westward into the Southern Plains next week. With the ridge becoming increasingly established overhead, temperatures will steadily climb while Probability of Precipitation remain isolated at best through the remainder of the forecast period. The combination of afternoon temperatures in the mid to upper 90s and dewpoints in the 70s will yield heat indices generally in the 103 to 112 range, meaning some heat hazards may be needed for portions of the forecast area. Marine Issued at 1215am CDT Wednesday August 12 2026 Surface high pressure over the northeast Gulf will keep winds out of the south around 5-15 kt throughout the forecast period. A few showers/storms are possible through today, after which high pressure aloft will build and help keep rain chances near zero through the end of the week. Fire Weather Issued at 1215am CDT Wednesday August 12 2026 Isolated afternoon showers will not be out of the realm of possibility this afternoon with a warm, moist airmass in place. An upper ridge will nearly put an end to rain chances from Thursday through the end of the week. Drier air moving in aloft will result in afternoon RH minimum values dropping to near 40 percent for our inland counties/parishes by the weekend, though winds throughout the period will remain light (less than 10 kt).
