Scattered Storms and Minimal Fire Weather Concerns for Louisiana Coast
The National Weather Service in Lake Charles, Louisiana, has reported a sprawling upper-level ridge centered over the Ozarks, influencing weather patterns across the region. A weak tropical wave over the northern Gulf is contributing to deep moisture, with Precipitable Water (PWAT) values ranging from 2.0 to 2.4 inches. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop along and south of the I-10 corridor, particularly near the coast, where moisture levels remain high. Inland areas will experience slightly drier air due to the ridge's influence. High temperatures are forecasted to reach the low 90s °F (32-34 °C) along the coast and mid-90s °F (34-35 °C) inland. Overnight lows will range from the mid-70s °F (23-24 °C) inland to upper 70s °F (25-26 °C) near the coast. Source time: not specified.
