NWS Lake Charles, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 10, 2:54 PM CST, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 354 PM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE... .KEY MESSAGES... - A marginal risk of severe storms and excessive rainfall are possible today. - We get a little break from the heat this week with several days of rain cooled air and cloud cover. - High rain chances will persist through the week and into this weekend. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Thursday night) Issued at 316 PM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025 Active convection is ongoing across the region, with multiple clusters of showers and thunderstorms on radar. Some of this activity is diurnally driven and is expected to gradually diminish this evening. However, scattered showers and thunderstorms may persist overnight as remnants of a decaying MCS propagate across the area. An upper level trough is currently centered over eastern Ontario, with broad troughing extending across much of the eastern CONUS. A series of shortwave disturbances are forecast to move about the base of this trough and into the region during the short term. Additionally, a quasistationary front will linger in the vicinity of the Gulf Coast States, acting as a focus for continued convective development. Persistent southerly flow will maintain a moist airmass across the area, with an 18Z UA and model derived PWATs generally at or above the 90th percentile for early June. This synoptic setup supports daily scattered to numerous thunderstorms, with isolated to scattered convection possible overnight as well. A few storms may become strong to severe, with localized damaging winds, hail, and heavy rainfall leading to potential flash flooding. && .LONG TERM... (Friday through next Monday) Issued at 316 PM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025 The unsettled pattern established during the short term will persist through the extended period. A cutoff upper low over the Southern Plains is forecast to linger through the end of the work week before gradually lifting northward and being absorbed into the broader upper level flow. Although this feature will eventually dissipate, a weak trough aloft will persist, supporting continued convective activity. Expect daily scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, with isolated to scattered activity during the overnight hours. Persistent cloud cover and widespread rainfall will act to suppress daytime temperatures, preventing highs from climbing into the mid 90s. However, overnight lows will remain elevated due to increased moisture and cloud cover. Maximum temperatures will remain near to slightly above climatological normals, while minimum temperatures will trend near normal across inland areas and approximately 3 to 6 degrees above normal south of the I-10 corridor. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1238 PM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025 With exception to terminals directly under or in the vicinity of a storm, mostly VFR expected for the duration of the period. There will be periods of scattered to numerous showers and storms from now until the late evening hours. Winds will be mostly south or southwest, however direction may become erratic near storms. There may also be some terminals that see brief periods of reduced VIS due to fog in the predawn hours && .MARINE... Issued at 316 PM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025 Light to occasionally modest onshore flow and low seas will persist through this week. Elevated thunderstorm chances will linger through the week and the upcoming weekend which may cause locally higher winds and seas. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
