Lake Charles, LA – Residents across southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana can expect a hot, mostly dry stretch of weather this week, with only limited chances for afternoon showers.
According to the National Weather Service in Lake Charles, an increase in moisture combined with an upper-level low will bring isolated rain Wednesday afternoon, with chances between 20 and 30 percent. Highs will reach into the low to mid-90s, with overnight lows staying in the upper 60s to mid-70s. Conditions will turn drier Thursday through Saturday, with rain chances dropping to 10 to 20 percent.
Temperatures will remain above seasonal averages, keeping the region under summer-like heat. “Conditions will then dry out again with very little chance for rain into Saturday. Temperatures will remain slightly above normal and summer-like,” the agency reported Tuesday.
Meanwhile, in the Atlantic, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring two disturbances. A system located between the Windward Islands and the Cabo Verde Islands has a 90 percent chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm within the next 48 hours. However, it is expected to track northwest over the open Atlantic and poses no threat to the Gulf of Mexico. Another disturbance near Africa carries only a 20 percent chance of development by early next week.
Forecasters emphasize that no tropical activity is expected for the northwest Gulf region over the next seven days.
