Hot and humid conditions expected through Fourth of July holiday
A new area of interest has been outlined stretching from the Northeastern Gulf to the Georgia/Carolina Coast. Hot and humid conditions are expected to continue through the holiday weekend as the National Hurricane Center keeps it eye on a tropical disturbance that stretches from the northeastern Gulf across Florida to the Carolina Coast. National Weather Service Lake Charles office Meteorologist Andrew Tingler said the center gives the disturbance a 30 percent chance of developing further over the next several days. 'It is too early to determine what, if any, impacts may occur across the Southeast United States,' Tingler said. He said in the meantime heat indexes in Southwest Louisiana could reach into the 100-107-degree range this week with only a slim chance the area will catch a brief cooling shower or thunderstorm. Lake Charles has a 15 percent of seeing rainfall on the Fourth of July — likely that would be between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Any storms that may develop are expected to dissipate by 7 p.m. Tingler said revelers should stay hydrated and take frequent breaks if celebrating outside.

Tropical depression forms in southern Gulf
Tropical Depression No. 2 developed in the Bay of Campeche Saturday afternoon. National Weather Service Lake Charles meteorologist Andrew Tingler said the cyclone has sustained winds of 30 mph and is moving toward the west-northwest at 7 mph. Tingler said the forecast is for the system to continue this motion into Mexico late Sunday or early Monday while slowly strengthening to a tropical storm. 'If it does become a tropical storm, the system would be named Barry,' Tingler said. 'No direct impacts are anticipated for southeast Texas or Louisiana, however an increase in moisture will allow a higher than normal coverage of afternoon thunderstorms Sunday.'
