LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - If you like summer-like weather then you are going to love the forecast for the next week! The forecast for the rest of the week is pretty simple with high pressure keeping the skies mostly clear and temperatures will be warm. We may see afternoon highs near 90 degrees daily! A weak disturbance may pass nearby on Friday and Saturday and that could bring some clouds along with a few sprinkles.

LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - The upper level low responsible for the cloudy and cool weekend is moving away and it will be replaced by high pressure. The forecast for the rest of the week is pretty simple with high pressure keeping the skies mostly clear and temperatures will be warm. We may see afternoon highs near 90 degrees daily! A weak disturbance may pass nearby on Friday and that could bring some clouds along with a few sprinkles.

LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - 10:45 PM UPDATE: A few strong storms will remain possible especially along and south of I-10 into the overnight hours. There are numerous thunderstorms still occurring over portions of SWLA, and these could still produce gusty winds and small hail. The greater concern now is likely the flooding risk, especially in Allen, Beauregard, and Vernon parishes where a large band of rain is stalled. We have already received reports of flooding, and that may get worse overnight.

LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - 5:45 PM UPDATE: A Tornado Watch is in effect for all of SWLA until 9 pm as the watch now includes Cameron Parish as well. The severe risk remains two-fold. As expected, showers and thunderstorms have blossomed over SWLA this evening, and any of those storms could become strong to severe, with all modes (winds, tornadoes, hail) of severe weather possible this evening. In addition, any addition cells that develop to the south and move into SWLA also could turn severe.

LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) -Some scattered showers will be possible Monday evening, but these do not pose a risk to our area. Tuesday likely begins dry with no rain around, but showers and storms will develop to our west by midday and move across SWLA late in the afternoon. These will be slow moving and that will allow the rainfall totals to really add up. Models have been flip-flopping all day on the placement of the heaviest rain, so I won’t focus on any one location.
