Lake Charles, LA – Residents across Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana can expect hot, dry conditions through early next week, with daytime highs running above seasonal averages.
According to the National Weather Service Lake Charles, temperatures will remain about 2 to 5 degrees above normal, reaching the low to mid-90s daily through Tuesday, September 16. Rain chances are minimal, ranging from 0 to 10 percent, as high pressure dominates the region.
Friday and Saturday will bring highs between 93 and 96 degrees, with overnight lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Sunday offers little relief, with temperatures in the 91 to 94-degree range. The hot pattern holds into Monday and Tuesday, where forecast highs again reach the mid-90s.
Meteorologists warn that the persistence of high pressure will continue to suppress rainfall, leaving conditions dry across much of Central and Southwest Louisiana, as well as Southeast Texas. While this provides a stable forecast, the combination of heat and humidity could still cause discomfort for those outdoors.
The National Weather Service encourages residents to stay hydrated and take precautions during peak afternoon hours. Those with outdoor plans this weekend are advised to plan for heat safety, especially with extended exposure.
