Temperatures were much above normal, averaging 4 to 5 degrees above normal for most locations across the region.

The following tables are compiled from the Automatic Surface Observing System (ASOS) and Cooperative Observer network within the National Weather Service Lake Charles area of responsibility, using data obtained from NOAA's Regional Climate Center xmACIS,  WxCoder, and mailed in Cooperative Observer B-29 forms. Many thanks goes out to our Hydro Meteorological Technicians Todd Mogged and Jimmy Nunn, whom maintains the cooperative observing equipment that our observers use to provide this information.

Rainfall graphics were obtained from the Lower Mississippi River Forecast Center's Precipitation Analysis product.
