Lake Charles, LA – Another hot and dry Saturday is underway across southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas, with no rain expected through at least the middle of next week, according to the US National Weather Service Lake Charles Louisiana.
Forecasters say high pressure remains locked over the region, keeping skies clear and temperatures warm. Highs today will reach the upper 80s to near 90°F, with nighttime lows falling into the upper 50s to mid-60s.
Marine forecasts show calm seas and light northeast winds across coastal waters, with wave heights around 1 to 2 feet and rain chances under 10%.
The continued dry spell is raising concern for rapid-onset drought conditions, especially across grasslands and marsh areas. Low humidity and occasional breezy northeast winds may also create elevated fire danger, forecasters warn.
The extended forecast calls for more of the same—sunny skies, daytime highs in the upper 80s to low 90s, and no significant rain chances until late next week at the earliest.
Residents are urged to avoid outdoor burning and stay mindful of local fire safety rules as the region continues to dry out.
