New week. Same forecast, but rain chances return next weekend.

Meteorologist Donald Jones discusses the forecast for the rest of the weekend and next week.

Meteorologist Donald Jones offers a look at forecast through the weekend and next week (hint: same ole same ole).

An area of Extreme Drought (D3) has developed across interior southwest and central Louisiana and parts of southeast Texas, per this week's update from the U.S. Drought Monitor. Most of the remainder of our area remains in Severe (D2) or Moderate (D1) drought.

Meteorologist Donald Jones stands in front of his office and tells you it's not going to rain.

Plenty of sunshine with highs climbing into the mid 80s at most. Lows could fall as low as the upper 40s under clear skies.

Meteorologist Donald Jones tries to find an interesting way to talk about an uninteresting forecast.

Albeit it a touch warmer, conditions will be drier. This will help clear skies just in time for the peak of the Orionid meteor shower early Thursday morning!☄️ Orionid photo cred to @NWSHouston

Today is National Share the Warmth Day, and the atmosphere is excited to celebrate!.. After this mornings clouds clear, we can expect temps to rise into the upper 70s to mid 80s. These temps are only a few degrees above normal, so it's not too bad! Have a great day, Chanelle☀️

12Z (7 AM) weather balloon releases are returning at WFO Lake Charles beginning November 1. These releases will provide additional and more consistent data to weather computer models supporting better forecasts both locally and nationally.

The forecast for the rest of the week boils down to two words: high and dry. Today is the last day of near normal, fall like temps before a midweek warming trend kicks off. It will also be dry, so low to no chances of "precip" from the sky and your forehead!

Meteorologist Donald Jones discusses perfect weather to start the week, but a warmup coming for the second half.

Cool and seasonal conditions to persist today with a modest warm up going into mid next week.

Meteorologist Donald Jones discusses the perfect weather this weekend and forecast for the upcoming week.

Another (literally) cool morning with current temps in the 40s and 50s. Cool conditions will persist this weekend.

Meteorologist Donald Jones discusses the very fall like, albeit windy, conditions expected this weekend.

Our first real cold front of the season is working through the area right now, bringing much cooler and drier air behind it. While the crisp air will feel great for festival weekend, these dry and windy conditions significantly raise the risk for wildfires.

Good afternoon! A dry cold front will move through the area tomorrow. Gusty north winds following the front will bring much drier air, which will combine with dry conditions to create high fire danger concerns heading into this weekend. #lawx #txwx

Meteorologist Donald Jones discusses a real, true cold front moving through the region Friday bringing picture perfect, although windy, conditions this this weekend.

A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for Friday afternoon and evening along/north of I-10, with elevated fire danger continuing into the weekend. Outdoor burning is not recommended, and precautions should be taken to prevent wildfire starts through this time. #lawx #txwx
