| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 303pm CDT Sunday Jun 7 2026 (This evening through next Saturday) Issued at 301pm CDT Sunday Jun 7 2026 Current conditions are akin to a tropical vacation destination minus the vacation part. Temps are in the 80s with dewpoints in the 70s, yielding heat indices in the 90s across much of the CWA. There are isolated to scattered showers and storms ongoing this afternoon that are mainly diurnally driven, with activity generally expected to taper after sunset. The Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 4) for excessive rainfall was trimmed back to include interior SETX and CenLA, with overall rain chances a bit lower than previous days. However, it's best not to let your guard down. Any location that experiences repeated (or even just one particularly heavy) shower or thunderstorm could see brief periods of excessive rainfall and localized flooding given the high moisture content. Similar to the past few days, storms should remain fairly progressive, limiting the duration of heavy rainfall at any one location. The atmosphere and forecast in general are beginning to "dry out," so to speak. And while that statement may sound dripping with sarcasm, it's worth noting that our 18Z sounding had a PWAT (Precipitable Water) value of only 1.98 inches. That's still above the 90th percentile, but at least today it wasn't flirting with the daily maximum again. Forecast PWAT (Precipitable Water) values through the work week are expected to range from around the 75th percentile to near or above the 90th percentile, with Probability of Precipitation generally remaining in the 20 to 50 percent range. At the surface, an area of high pressure over the Atlantic will allow southerly to southeasterly flow to prevail through nearly the entire forecast period. Aloft, an upper trough will weaken as it lifts northeastward across the Plains. As that occurs, an upper ridge over the eastern Gulf will expand westward across the remainder of the Gulf. A more typical summertime pattern is then expected to develop, characterized by slightly above normal temperatures and mainly diurnally driven showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures will climb into the lower to middle 90s while dewpoints remain in the 70s, so some locations could see heat indices creep into Heat Advisory criteria. Marine Issued at 301pm CDT Sunday Jun 7 2026 A moderate southerly flow with occasional gusts to near 20 kts can be expected today into tonight. Tomorrow through the remainder of the period, light to moderate onshore flow along with seas around 1-3 feet can be expected. An isolated shower/storm or two is possible each day, but overall dry conditions are expected to prevail. Fire Weather Issued at 301pm CDT Sunday Jun 7 2026 A moisture rich air mass will remain overhead today keeping humid conditions in place with afternoon minimum relative humidity values over 60 percent. Isolated to scattered showers and storms will again be possible today, but overall coverage should be less than the last few days. Rain chances will decrease on Monday into early next week with minimum afternoon relative humidity values ranging between 50 and 60 percent.
