Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 600pm CDT Thu April 24 2025 .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Saturday night) Issued at 335pm CDT Thu April 24 2025 Next short wave to move down into the forecast area tonight into early Friday. Guidance has not done a good job lately depicting these features. There is a small cluster of storms over northeast Texas associated with it. CAMs basically have this feature falling apart before reaching the forecast area. However, with good instability, there is a decent chance that a convective feature will be able to make into at-least the northwest half of the forecast area tonight. Therefore, will go higher than what the NBM was showing for probability of precipitation for central Louisiana and interior southeast Texas. If it holds together enough, then gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall can be expected. Moist, unstable air mass will remain in place over the forecast area on Friday with remnants of short wave/convective feature moving across. Daytime heating should help initiate scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially north of the I-10 corridor. An upper level ridge will finally start to build in on Saturday, ending any significant rain chances, with hot and humid conditions. Long Term (Sunday through next Wednesday) Issued at 323pm CDT Thu April 24 2025 Southerly flow in the low levels will continue as a surface high over the western Atlantic ridges into the forecast area. This will continue to bring in Gulf moisture. However, an upper level ridge over northern Old Mexico is expected to build over the forecast area by Sunday and remain over the forecast area through the period. Therefore, limited, if any, shower activity is expected. It will feel almost summer like with hot and humid conditions. Marine Issued at 320pm CDT Thu April 24 2025 Surface high pressure centered off the east coast and over the Western Atlantic will ridge across into the forecast area over the next several days. This will continue a light to modest south to southeast flow with low seas into the weekend and early next week. NOAA Lake Charles LA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories LA...None. TX...None.
