| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 638am CDT Wednesday Jun 3 2026 (Tonight through next Tuesday) Issued at 1154pm CDT Tuesday Jun 2 2026 A robust line of storms moved across the region this afternoon with heavy rain and gusty winds. As expected, most of the storms were of the pulse variety and were generally short-lived. As the front moves offshore tonight, it will stall along the coast. This stationary front will be the main feature through the middle of the week, providing a boundary for showers and thunderstorms to form each afternoon. With the increase in showers, cloudy skies will help moderate temperatures, with afternoon highs staying in the mid to upper 80s. As we move into the weekend, high pressure will shift to the western Atlantic and will cause our winds to become southerly again. This will start another warming trend, and highs will slowly start to climb back into the 90s. As we move into the weekend, models are showing an upper-level trough impacting the region. Being this far out, specifics are difficult to nail down, but the upper-level disturbance will lead to more widespread rain. With south winds pushing tropical air north, we can expect a moist atmosphere with warm conditions. The WPC has already highlighted our area for a heavy rain threat with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 4) for both Saturday and Sunday. Continue to monitor the forecast for changes and keep an umbrella handy for the rest of the week. Marine Issued at 1154pm CDT Tuesday Jun 2 2026 A front will move offshore tonight where it will stall; in addition, broad high pressure in the southeast US will lead to prevailing east winds. By Thursday, the prevailing winds will be between 10 to 15 knots with gusts up to 25 knots. We could see an exercise caution or small craft advisory during this time frame. With the prevailing east winds, most of the concern for runup or coastal flooding is on the eastern side of the state, but high tides will be a bit higher than average for the rest of the week. By the weekend, winds will be from the south and below 10 knots. Convection will be widespread with showers and thunderstorms as the boundary stalls near the coast. Fire Weather Issued at 1154pm CDT Tuesday Jun 2 2026 Hot and humid conditions remain with minRH staying above 50%. Multiple rounds of wetting rain have limited the fire weather danger, as most fuels are now well and truly soaked. For the rest of the forecast, rain chances will be around 50% each afternoon.
