Lake Charles, LA
Weather Forecast Office
The National Weather Service office in Lake Charles serves the parishes and counties depicted in the map at the bottom of this page.
For life-threatening and imminent severe weather threats, please contact local law enforcement immediately (even if you also contact us by social media or email) and ask that they relay your report to the National Weather Service.
You can report significant weather on social media:
When posting weather reports to social media, it is helpful to include the hashtag #lawx for our parishes in Louisiana and #txwx for our counties in Texas.
When timeliness is not an issue, you may send weather reports and photos to our webmaster at SR-LCH.webmaster@noaa.gov. From time to time, we receive weather photos that would enhance our severe weather training, outreach, and other education efforts. If we may use the photos that you send us for non-profit purposes, please let us know. We strive to include photo credits whenever possible.
