Lake Charles, La. – Southwest Louisiana residents enjoyed an absolutely beautiful Monday, as fall-like weather conditions prevailed. Cooler temperatures are set to continue for another day or so before southerly winds and increased humidity return by the end of the week, bringing temperatures back to near normal levels.
Enjoying Comfortable Fall-Like Conditions
On Monday, September 8, 2025, much of Southwest Louisiana experienced ideal weather marked by pleasant temperatures and low humidity. Looking ahead to Tuesday morning, temperatures will dip slightly, with low temperatures expected in the upper 50s to mid 60s, especially in locations north of Interstate 10.
- Morning lows Tuesday: upper 50s to mid 60s
- Afternoon highs Tuesday: reaching the upper 80s
- Humidity levels: low and comfortable
Despite temperatures rising into the upper 80s during the day, the low humidity will make the heat bearable, allowing residents to fully enjoy the lingering touch of fall.
Return of Southerly Winds and Rising Temperatures
Weather patterns will shift towards the end of the week as southerly winds re-establish themselves across the region. This change will lead to an increase in humidity and a warming trend bringing both lows and highs back to average for this time of the year.
- Southerly winds: return by week’s end
- Humidity levels: expected to rise
- Temperature trend: warming to near normal

This shift signals a gradual end to the enjoyable fall-like stretch, but temperatures will remain comfortably within seasonal norms for early September.

Additionally, no other tropical disturbances are expected to form over the next seven days, offering some relief during the height of hurricane season.
“We are just now at the peak of hurricane season and storms remain possible well into October. If there is ever a threat, you can count on us to keep you informed,” said KPLC meteorologists.
Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant as the season proceeds but can take solace in the current lack of tropical threats.
