Lake Charles, LA – A wind advisory remains in effect for parts of southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana, with gusty conditions expected through 7 p.m. Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Lake Charles, south winds will range from 15 to 25 mph, with gusts reaching up to 35 mph. The advisory warns that lightweight objects may be blown around, outdoor decorations should be secured, and travel may be difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles.
Residents in affected areas, including Lake Charles, Lafayette, and Beaumont, should take precautions as winds continue to strengthen. The gusty conditions are being caused by a developing low-pressure system over the Plains, bringing elevated wind speeds across the region.
Drivers are advised to use caution, especially on bridges and overpasses. Those with outdoor plans should ensure loose objects are properly secured. The advisory is set to expire at 7 p.m., but conditions could remain breezy into the evening hours.
