| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 111pm CDT Monday Oct 5 2026 ...NewARINE,Fire Weather .KEY MESSAGES... - Lower rain chances are expected for most of the work week as drier air continues to advect into the region. - The next shot at rain will be near the end of the forecast period as another surge of tropical moisture emerges. (This evening through next Sunday) Issued at 108pm CDT Monday Oct 5 2026 Monday afternoon surface analysis shows a cold front draped along the Gulf Coast, from south of New Orleans to east of Brownsville at this time. Excessive moisture associated with this boundary has largely been shunted offshore, where showers are ongoing and expected to persist off and on through the next few days as the boundary lingers. Inland, a mixed bag of conditions are expected today into tonight, as half of the region starts to benefit from dry air advection while the other half remains in a somewhat moisture rich environment for a while longer. Across interior SE TX and CENLA, dry air will gradually work its way into the region this afternoon/tonight, allowing cloud cover to slowly clear and dewpoints to fall into the upper 50s to low 60s as we approach sunrise tomorrow. Elsewhere, especially along and south of the I-10 corridor, moisture remains elevated for a while longer with cloud cover lingering and dewpoints in the mid 60s to low 70s near sunrise tomorrow. Tuesday through Thursday, slow dry air advection continues as weak troughing lingers over the Gulf Coast/southeastern CONUS aloft and surface winds maintain a NE to E component behind the boundary in the Gulf. While this will maintain dewpoints in the 60s across most of the region for a few days, it will also bring back unseasonably warm temperatures with afternoon highs in the upper 80s to low 90s expected. Friday into the weekend the forecast becomes more uncertain as we turn our attention to the system in the southern Gulf which is currently outlined with a 60% chance of tropical development over the next 48 hours and a 80% chance over the next 7 days by NHC. Guidance has been fairly consistent with pulling this system north towards the central Gulf Coast by the weekend however, strength and impacts are highly uncertain. For now, we can expect an uptick in moisture and rain chances as we head into the weekend. Impacts look greatest to our east at this time however, things could definitely change through the week as we start to get a better handle on the eventual development of this system. Marine Issued at 108pm CDT Monday Oct 5 2026 Modest northeast to east-northeast winds and moderate seas are expected through Wednesday, along with continued light to moderate rainfall along a meandering frontal boundary. Wednesday night into Thursday, winds and seas begin to increase to beyond SCA (Small Craft Advisory) criteria ahead of a developing low pressure system in the southern Gulf. By Friday, strong winds and seas potentially to Gale force will become possible and will be highly conditional based on the eventual evolution of this low pressure system. Fire Weather Issued at 108pm CDT Monday Oct 5 2026 Dry air will slowly advect into the region today through the next few days, allowing minRH values to slowly fall from the upper 40s- low 60s tomorrow into the mid 30s-mid 50s by Thursday. The increase in dry air will keep rain chances near zero through Thursday, with moisture and rain chances slowly returning thereafter.
