Temperatures outside in the lower 70s coupled with gusty winds already over 30 mph at times is making for an early summer morning feel, considering humidity values are near 100% this morning. Lots of clouds will start the day and be with us through the afternoon. Despite those clouds, only a few patches of sprinkles are possible through the morning in a few select spots.

FIRST ALERT FORECAST: Dangerously hot weather continues; rain chances return next week Ben Terry © Provided by Lake Charles KPLC KPLC
Lake Charles, LA (KPLC) - The hazy sky made its presence known today as the Saharan dust plume arrived in Southwest Louisiana. That combined with unabated sunshine led to temperatures soaring into the middle 90s along with midday and afternoon heat indices around 108. The heat advisory will expire this evening at 6 p.m. but the dangerous heat returns for Sunday as tomorrow looks to be a near repeat. Expect an otherwise quiet evening with temperatures falling into the 80s while the heat index stays in the 90s again most of the night.
