LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Showers and storms will once again be the name of the game as we head through our Wednesday and into Thursday morning.

Go ahead and grab the rain jacket and umbrella before stepping out the door, as we are seeing a few downpours early this morning, which will become more widespread by the afternoon.

Our cold front is still pushing in from the north for much of the day, and that will help to trigger additional showers and storms through the second half of the day.

As the storms move through, heavy rainfall, frequent lightning and gusty winds will be the biggest concern.

The overall severe threat today remains on the lower side, but if we don’t see as much morning rain a few of the afternoon and evening storms could pack a bit of a punch at times.
