The Calcasieu Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness has upgraded Tuesday’s weather advisory to an excessive heat warning area-wide.

An excessive heat watch remains in effect for Wednesday. Both hazards are valid from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

There also continues to be a chance for showers and thunderstorms developing across the area tonight with damaging winds being the primary concern.

A slight weakness in the upper level heating ridge could allow for the development of showers and thunderstorms across portions of the area Tuesday afternoon and early evening.
