Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 408 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2020 .DISCUSSION... Another warm and mostly sunny afternoon across the forecast area, with only isolated showers along with a periodic lightning strike or two noted across parts of east central and southern LA. Notable increase in fair weather cu thanks to a modest increase in low/mid level MSTR evident on the 12Z KLCH RAOB, brought about via the easterly flow around a low/mid level ridge centered over AR along with a weak inverted trof sliding under the ridge. The convection will likely linger into the early evening hours before dissipating with the loss of diurnal instability. Ridge is progged to build southward tomorrow, becoming more elongated from N to S, which will largely inhibit convection tomorrow. There is short range guidance indicating at least some isolated diurnal activity could get going across E TX, so opted to carry a small PoP here. Rest of the area will see another warm and mostly sunny day, with highs topping out in the lower/mid 90s. Expect a mostly dry period WED through FRI as this elongated and narrowing ridge axis shifts a bit to the west across E TX while a large upper low cuts off and meanders over the SE CONUS. This will yield a deep N/NW flow across the area, precluding any significant MSTR return. Temperatures will remain relatively steady state through this time period, with highs in the lower/mid 90s and lows generally around 70, though lows away from the coast will be more subject to the influence of any dry air intrusions. The upper low is progged to open up and lift out over the weekend ahead of another approaching upper trof progged to dig into the ERN CONUS early next week. The return of at least shallow low level southerly flow over the weekend along with the eroding ridge will yield increasing MSTR/rain chances SAT and SUN. 13 && .MARINE... High pressure stretching across east Texas will maintain a light to at times modest easterly flow today. Winds will become lighter and somewhat variable Monday through Wednesday as the high shifts east into Louisiana, with a more prevalent southerly flow becoming established by late week as the high continues on toward the north central Gulf Coast. 13 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
