FIRST ALERT FORECAST: Drier Sunday, but another good chance of rain arrives Tuesday

LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - We’ll turn drier again through Monday, but a cold front is on the way which may bring another good coverage of showers and storms. Sunday looks drier but not completely rain free as a few lingering showers could take place, especially towards Jeff Davis and Allen parishes. With less rain around, highs should rebound to the low 80’s with a chance of morning fog. It will be easier for outdoor plans to take place as long as you stay mindful that a few showers may still take place. And don’t forget to turn back the clocks!
