LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Once again, the big story will be the heat and humidity that builds through our Thursday afternoon and evening. We’ll continue to see a mix of sun and clouds through the afternoon and evening helping to boost temperatures back into the lower 90s. Rain chances will remain very limited with only a few spotty showers and storms developing, but where they do develop it could produce locally heavy rainfall.

The big difference we will feel is the warm and muggy mornings as we struggle to cool below the middle 70s for most mornings.
