Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 3:56 PM CDT, 1 hour 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 356 PM CDT Mon Jun 7 2021 .DISCUSSION... .SHORT TERM (Today Through Wednesday Morning)... Isolated showers and thunderstorms ahead of an approaching MCS have moved northward out of our area with no new development in our area. The approaching MCS is maintaining its strength, in part due to the inflow of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico as well as the instability present. Southern parts of the area are not expected to be impacted by the MCS. However, northern parts of the area (especially the northern fringe) will likely see strong thunderstorms this evening. Some of the storms could be severe. Damaging wind gusts and large hail will be the primary risks. Winds will be elevated until after sunset this evening. Mostly cloudy skies will persist into the morning hours. Overnight temperatures will be above normal due to the increased cloud cover. Morning fog will be possible for Central LA as winds will be lighter overnight for inland locations. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will likely begin developing during the late morning on Tuesday. Chances for storms will then diminish around sunset on Tuesday. 55 .LONG TERM (Wednesday through Sunday)... Scattered afternoon convection will continue each afternoon into Wednesday as tropical moisture remains in place with little to drive it upward other than afternoon heating. A large upper ridge building over Mexico and up into Texas will act to suppress convection Thursday through Saturday although an isolated shower can't be completely ruled out. The ridge will erode back to the west Sunday allowing for scattered convection to once again develop each afternoon through early next week. With the ridge still meandering over central and west Texas providing some influence, the highest PoPs will likely be across central and south central Louisiana.
