LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - High pressure is keeping things nice and quiet once again as we head into our Friday afternoon.

We’ll continue to see a mix of sun and clouds as temperatures climb into the lower 90s throughout the day.

Heat index will be a big factor today as many areas are feeling more like 100 with limited relief as showers and storms remain spotty at best.

Our forecast will hold fairly steady heading into the weekend as well with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies remaining in place.

Temperatures will be holding steady as well with many areas remaining in the lower 90s right on into early next week.
