Have you found a better way to kill mosquitoes, we are always looking for ideas to share with other people, share your ideas and we will share them with all of our visitors.

With a 50 percent chance of rain today, the region remains on course to continue overcoming this summer's drought, a National Weather Service-Lake Charles meteorologist said.

Temperatures are forecast to be in the mid 50s and skies are expected to remain cloudy.

It's a "dreary" kind of weather reminiscent of a northeastern snow storm sans snow, Meteorologist Kent Kuyper said.

Rainfall for the month is down half an inch but up 4 inches for the last six months.

"It is typical Southeast Texas-Southwest Louisiana weather," the chipper meteorologist said. "The good news is we are not in a drought. It might be good for crawfish. When there is a drought in the winter time crawfish prices go up."

So there it is something to look forward to in a few months.

But as for tomorrow, expect 1-to-3 inches of rain.

"People who build stuff don't particularly like," Kuyper said.

When dealing with West Nile virus, prevention is your best bet. Fighting mosquito bites reduces your risk of getting this disease, along with others that mosquitoes can carry. Take the commonsense steps below to reduce your risk:

• avoid bites and illness;
  
  
• clean out the mosquitoes from the places where you work and play;
  
  
• help your community control the disease.
  
  

Something to remember: The chance that any one person is going to become ill from a single mosquito bite remains low. The risk of severe illness and death is highest for people over 50 years old, although people of all ages can become ill.

The mosquitoes seem to be just as bad in the winter as they were during the summer here in Southeast Texas, how bad are they around the rest of the county??
