LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) – The warm weather won’t change anytime soon, but we’ll see rain chances start to increase as we start the week.

A few rain chances have been pushed back into SWLA on Sunday as the higher humidity starts to work. A few scattered showers and showers will become possible at any time on Sunday. Now not everyone will get rain as coverage appears locally scattered. But keep an eye on the sky for any outdoor plans. Also, the southerly wind will pick up soon. They will gust near 30mph at times on Sunday and likely over 30mph on Monday!

Another front will approach the SWLA on Tuesday and increase the chance of more rain. Better coverage of showers and possibly some thunderstorms are expected on Tuesday. So you’ll want to keep your umbrella handy then. This front doesn’t seem to be fully moving, though, so don’t expect much cooling behind it. Rain chances then look a little lower on Wednesday and even higher through Thursday.

Even though it’s November, the tropics have risen to start the month. Subtropical Storm Patty has formed near the Azores Islands in the far northeast Atlantic and is expected to weaken as it moves towards parts of Europe.

Our main focus is on the southern Caribbean. A broad area of ​​low pressure has a good chance of developing next week. It is likely to head north towards Jamaica and then northwest as high pressure builds over it. That means yes, whatever it is, it could hit the southern Gulf next week. Beyond that, it’s hard to tell how much power it gains and where it ends up. And conditions in the northern Gulf are likely to be more hostile late next week. So it’s not something we’re too concerned about, but we’ll keep a close eye on it anyway. For more details, go to: https://www.kplctv.com/weather/hurricane/
