NWS Lake Charles, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 24, 1:12 AM CST, 3 hours 48 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 212 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER... .KEY MESSAGES... - A surge of moisture around and upper level ridge associated with a weak disturbance will bring about high rain chances today, especially during the afternoon hours, with some locally torrential downpours possible. - The upper level ridge will briefly strengthen on Wednesday and Thursday for slightly lower rain chances and typical summer heat with max afternoon heat index values from 102 to 107 degrees. - By the end of the week into the weekend, rain chances increase again as the upper level ridge weakens and deeper moisture moves into the region. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Thursday night) Issued at 205 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 On going nocturnal showers and a few storms already on going mainly along the coast. This activity will persist until sunrise. A surface ridge will continue from the east bringing rather moist air in the low levels of the atmosphere during the period with summertime muggy conditions. A mid and upper level ridge is centered over the southern Appalachians. A weak disturbance and surge of moisture in the easterlies around the ridge is expected to move into the forecast area by afternoon. PWAT values are depicted to be over 2 inches and around the 90th percentile of climo with this surge on the GOES data. Guidance agrees with increasing the PWAT values over the forecast area this afternoon to over 2 inches with mean layer relative humidity values over 80 percent. With the increase in moisture and rather little inhibition, daytime heating and seabreeze showers and storms are expected to be enhanced this afternoon and little more in the way of coverage than normal. With the high moisture values there is the potential for some local torrential downpours with the showers and storms. The disturbance and moisture surge will move westward on Wednesday into southeast Texas as the upper level ridge briefly expands to the southwest. Therefore, rain chances are expected to be a little lower on Wednesday and Thursday, with again any shower activity having a greater chance during the afternoon hours. With that temperatures will be a little higher to go along with the humid conditions, although at this time the max afternoon heat index values are expected to stay below the advisory criteria and range from 102F to 107F degrees. Rua && .LONG TERM... (Friday through Tuesday) Issued at 210 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 The surface subtropical ridge will persist through the weekend that will allow a southeasterly flow in the low levels to keep the situation on the muggy and humid side. The upper level ridging looks to break down and shift more to the west. Therefore, looks like daily chances of mainly afternoon scattered showers and thunderstorms will occur with the greater chance for the convection over eastern portions of the forecast area with less influence from the upper level ridge. Temperatures will remain pretty typical for summer, so it will be hot and muggy. Rua && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1143 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2025 A few, small thunderstorms will remain possible through the early morning. Diurnally driven storms will increase in coverage from 16Z this morning and continue through approximately 00Z before waning. Away from storms VFR conditions will prevail through the period. Gradient winds will be generally light out of the east owing to a broad surface high centered over the southeast CONUS. However, outflow boundaries resulting from developing storms may result in periods of higher gusts and localized rapid changes in wind direction. Jones && .MARINE... Issued at 153 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 A subtropical surface high centered off the southeast U.S. coast will ridge into the coastal waters during the week with mainly light east to southeast winds the result with relatively low seas. A surge of moisture will increase showers and thunderstorms today, with a daily chance for showers and thunderstorms continuing this week. Winds and seas will be higher in and near the storms. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 150 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 A surge of moisture with a weak upper level disturbance will help increase showers and thunderstorms today, especially in the afternoon. Rain chances will decrease some on Wednesday and Thursday, however it will remain humid with afternoon min relative humidity values above 50 percent. Away from any storms, winds will be light and mainly from the southeast. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
