KPLC 7 News, Lake Charles, LouisianaYour 7 Day Forecast
Member Center:
One more day of work comes with one more day of the mugginess. We'll watch a cold front sag southward, arriving this evening. This front will ultimately bring lower humidity in time for the holiday weekend! Skies will clear and grills will fire up for the start of football season and the unofficial end of summer.
For Friday, expect some morning clouds or areas of fog. This will give way to some sunshine, but clouds will be plenty for the day today, ahead of the advancing front. Highs will hit the low 90s, with rain chances about 20-30% in the afternoon hours. By the evening, skies will remain mostly cloudy, but rain chances should begin to taper. The winds will shift from a more southerly direction, to a northeasterly flow. It could be breezy at times, but it looks like most Friday night football games should stay dry. Overnight, skies clear and temps will drop to near 70°.
Saturday and Sunday will be picture perfect. Highs will barely get into the 90s, but the biggest chunk of goodness is that low humidity will prevail! Dew points will drop into the comfortable 50s for the daytime hours. Skies will remain sun filled with only a few clouds. Game time temps for the McNeese kickoff on Saturday will be in the low 80s.
Labor Day will feature an increase in humidity and clouds, as moist air slides back around the edge of high pressure. I think most activities get off without much rain, but a few afternoon showers and thunderstorms remain possible. Highs will again be in the low 90s. Otherwise, the rest of the week looks similar, with muggy conditions back in control, and afternoon storms possible. Have a great weekend!
