| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 626pm CDT Tuesday August 25 2026 (This afternoon through next Monday) Issued at 1042am CDT Tuesday August 25 2026 Upper high continues spinning off to the west of the region today, west of an upper trough deepening into he southeast US. This trof remains the point of weakness which is allowing light rain this morning and that will allow further rain chances through the rest of the week. Rain and increased cloud cover will keep cooler conditions to the east while those in southeast TX will see heat indices up to 109F. Lower rain chances on Wednesday should result in warmer temps, allowing the area to warm into the upper 90s to lower 100s. This should result in heat indices 107 to 110F and so a heat advisory may be issued for this period. Rain chances return somewhat Thursday and Friday with the upper trough. A widespread wetting rain is possible but not expected as rainfall will likely be scattered in coverage. Still, due to the possibility of torrential rain, the WPC has painted all of southeast LA into a Marginal Risk of Excessive Rainfall Thursday and coastal areas on Friday. 11 Marine Issued at 1042am CDT Tuesday August 25 2026 Onshore winds will persist over the period with surface high pressure situated to the east. Upper weakness should send some scattered showers and perhaps an isolated thunderstorm over eastern waters through the rest of the work week. Fire Weather Issued at 1042am CDT Tuesday August 25 2026 Upper high pressure remains pinned to the west by a trough system moving into the southeast US. This weakness now moving into Louisiana has developed some light rain over central LA and should keep areas east of the Sabine at least cooler today. The ridge will halt most chances on Wednesday before it backs off again and rain chances can inch back into the forecast to close out the week. A range of 0.10 to 1.50 inches of rainfall are possible from now to the start of next week, with the greatest chances falling across south central Louisiana, away from where the upper high is most influential. Even with increased rainfall, this likely won't help drought conditions overall as anomalously warm and dry conditions prevail otherwise. NOAA Lake Charles LA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories LA...None. TX... Heat Advisory until 7pm CDT this evening for TXZ201-261-262-515- 516-615-616. GM...None. |
