WINTER WEATHER UPDATE FROM US NWS LAKE CHARLES 1.20.25
Good morning all,
The forecast for temperatures and snowfall totals Tuesday have not changed much overnight with only slight tweaks to both. The region will climb into the upper 30s to near 40 degrees this afternoon before quickly falling back below freezing around sunset. From there, the area will likely not climb above freezing again until Thursday afternoon yielding between 50-60 consecutive hours below freezing.
Snowfall totals of 2-6 inches are most likely south of Hwy 190 although localized amounts as high as 10 inches are realistically possible. Snow totals are expected to be lower north of Hwy 190 with 2-4 inches most likely.
With temperatures not rising above freezing until Thursday afternoon, whatever snow accumulates on Tuesday will not begin to melt until then. Most snow will likely melt Friday, but larger accumulations and snow in shaded areas may last until as late as Saturday.
