Lake Charles, LA (KPLC) - Multiple rounds of rain between Thursday and Saturday are forecast to bring as much as 2 to 4 inches of rain to Southwest Louisiana through the weekend.
Our first rains of the day arrive by midday and afternoon on Thanksgiving Day with the heavier downpours set to arrive by afternoon and evening. While the severe weather threat is low, locally heavy downpours could leave some spots with a couple of inches of rain just tomorrow!
New data in this afternoon suggests a significant break in the heavier rain for Friday, which would be good news for those out shopping for deals! A few showers are possible, but the threat of heavier rain and storms will take a break until later in the weekend.
Computer models this afternoon have slowed the arrival of the cold front down until much later Saturday, which means rain chances will go up quite a bit more again for Saturday with the threat of storms as well. The front will likely move through at some point Saturday afternoon, bringing an end to the rain by Saturday night and cooling off temperatures for the second half of the weekend.
Stormvision HD radar is showing quiet conditions across the area. High pressure will move east opening the door for our next front.
The SPC (Storm Prediction Center) has us in a “Marginal” threat (low) for severe weather.
The entire state has a level 2- “Slight” threat for excessive rain.
Lake Charles saw an official high yesterday of a warm 74 after a morning low of 45. We are wetter than usual as we wind down November. We’ve had 3.88″ of rain and we will add a LOT more before the end of the month, unfortunately Thanksgiving. Some rain may Friday PM and Saturday PM. A typical November sees about 3″ of rain.
Temperatures in our area are warm to start our Thanksgiving near 60 degrees for most. Our dewpoints in 50s and will be rising into the upper-60s this afternoon. We will be cloudy and dry this morning. Rain moves in this afternoon. We will likely see a high temperature of 71 (our seasonal normal 70) which will add to the potential energy for storms.
