Will Lake Charles actually see snow this weekend?
For over a week, rumors have been circling that southwest Louisiana will once again see snow.
While it is not going to be the type of snowstorm that Louisiana saw last January, the National Weather Service in Lake Charles is forecasting there is some potential for southwest Louisiana to see some snow Sunday morning.
“A cold front will move through the region (Friday night) into early Saturday morning accompanied by a few showers,” the forecast states. “Lingering moisture behind the cold front may produce a brief period of light snow or flurries early Sunday morning across south central Louisiana.”
Specifically, the forecast states that there is a less than 10% chance of snow with no expected accumulation or travel hazards.
The snow chances are due to a light freeze with wind chills in the low to mid-20s that is expected Saturday night into Sunday morning across the entire region away from the immediate coastline.
The forecast states that the service does not know if snow will actually happen since the precipitation chances are “very low” and that the specific areas that may see snow are unknown, but that lower Acadiana is the most likely.
“Rely on trusted, official sources for weather information, not all social media posts are trustworthy,” the forecast states. “Stay informed by monitoring the forecast for updates and changes.”

MONROE, La. (KNOE) – Shelby Bordelon of Iberville Parish was crowned Miss Louisiana 2026 Saturday night in Monroe, earning the title and a $15,000 scholarship. Bordelon, a graduate student at Southeastern Louisiana University, said the role is about more than pageantry, emphasizing the yearlong service mission tied to the crown.
“Part of the mission of this organization is the service behind it,” Bordelon said. “And the service is so important, you are serving your state for a year… having the opportunities to connect with others… to continue making an impact and leaving my mark on others as well.”
Bordelon, who finished first runner-up in last year’s competition, said the moment her name was called as the winner still hasn’t fully sunk in.
“It was every emotion you could think of that was running through my mind at that moment,” she said, adding she focused on preparation and perspective this year. “I really wanted to go into this year with no regrets… just really trusting in that mindset and that plan.”
Bordelon said she hopes to use her platform to raise awareness for her nonprofit, Claire’s Promise, which focuses on combating drunk driving.
