Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Blanchard, LA

DISCUSSION
Issued at 1234 AM CDT Wed Jun 10 2026

Upper ridging is setting up shop over SE TX for the next few days with air temperatures building to include more mid 90s. The humidity is high, but can mix out by afternoon with enough wind.
Tuesday didn't see a large turn out in that regard with the likelihood that we will have endure mid to late summer heat in our short term under this building heat dome. Contributing factors include a warming trend on soil temperature in the absence of wide spread rainfall. The sea breeze will again make it into deep east TX with some isolated mid to late day coverage. Generally sparse in amount and often brief for a lucky few sites.

The upper ridge is essentially nesting over SE TX on the short term models with increasing numbers of peak heat indices climbing over the 105 degree mark. We will see potentially several afternoon hours becoming more widespread with Heat Advisories to end the week. The upper ridge will get bumped SW this weekend with a weak frontal boundary bringing some rainfall and slightly drier air in our direction. This is the first of a few weak cold fronts, but each one will have the way paved by the previous. So we can expect a little better coverage of much needed rainfall in the days to come this weekend and especially next week. Until then, the heat builds and additional areas in our Four- State area will see the advisories this week as our highs edge from lower to middle 90s. Southerly winds will become a fixture for us keeping the Gulf humidity well inland. Not much sea breeze under the upper ridge, but the weak cold fronts will help with weak reinforcing air masses over the plains. We do not appear to have much northerly wind in our future for this next week.

The SPC day 3 has good coverage of their General risk for us by the weekend with that weak frontal boundary edging toward I-20.
And the WPC EROs (excessive rainfall outlooks) do settle a Marginal risk back into our northern areas with these weak cool fronts. The air mass are going to be moving eastward more than southward, but will pool moisture and increased convection will focus in the mid to long term period of the next week. The CPC 8 to 14 day outlook continues this trend with near or just above heat, but areawide above average rainfall through mid June. So better news for the drought may not come soon, but we will add some needed rainfall in the next couple of weeks. /24/

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1234 AM CDT Wed Jun 10 2026

Remnant seabreeze boundary has pushed almost to the I-20 Corridor of NE TX late this evening with some remaining cu along the boundary but any ceilings would be brief near 5kft. We should see a repeat of returning stratus of the MVFR variety later tonight through the predawn hours spreading northward from SE TX and SW LA. This could over should impact most if not all terminals with the exception of the ELD terminal. Any MVFR ceilings should scatter and/or lift by mid to late morning with little more than an elevated cu field during the afternoon. We may see isolated diurnally driven convection once again in the vicinity of the LFK terminal but pop coverage does not warrant a mention in this TAF package. Look for increasing south to ssw winds today with sustained winds near 10kts with some higher gusts upwards of 25kts, especially at the TYR and GGG terminals by mid/late morning through the afternoon hours.
