NWS – Lake Charles – Joe Rua  [4:55 AM]

Here are the updated forecast graphics from the midnight crew:

  • A wave moving around the high and across the northern Gulf will bring increasing showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday for mainly locations along and south of the I-10 corridor.
  • The wave will also help increase easterly winds and build seas over the coastal waters with the potential for Small Craft Advisory conditions.
  • Northeast winds between the wave over the northwest Gulf and high pressure over the Mid-Atlantic will bring dry continental air to the region on Thursday and Friday to end the week with less humid conditions.
