**BCWX 5 Day Forecast**
As far as rain chances go, we look to stay dry for what could be upwards of 10 days... However, a few frontal systems will come through before that and will bring along some drier air with each frontal passage. Our 1st front that comes through on Friday morning will bring some scattered cloud cover during the early morning hours (3am-8am). However, the bulk of the moisture intake will be northeast of us across Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. This is where the rainfall will occur with this front. Temperatures during the day on Thursday will be near average with upper 70's to perhaps the lower 80's. Friday and Saturday will be cooler with mid to upper 70's on Friday and upper 60's and lower to mid 70's on Saturday. System number 2 looks to arrive Tuesday morning. Right now, rain chances look limited due to dry air in the middle parts of the atmosphere, but I will continue to keep on eye on this. For now, enjoy the nice sunny weather and comfortable humidity and perfect temperatures!!

**Radar Update as of 1:15am CDT**
Moderate to heavy rainfall continues across Plaquemines Parish with the potential for flash flooding to occur over then next several hours between Port Sulphur and Venice. Meanwhile scattered rains showers and storms are moving across the area with no threat of flash flooding. However, some of these cells could produce heavy rainfall at times. If you are out driving, take it slow on the roads if you happen to run into one of these cells!

**BCWX 5 Day Forecast**
While showers will continue into the overnight hours tonight and into tomorrow morning across the eastern portions of the area, the rest of the week looks to be pretty nice!! Drier air and cooler temperatures will be in play Monday and Tuesday. Winds Monday will be out of the northwest around 10-20 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Winds will lighten down by Tuesday as then northerly wind speeds will be around 5-10 mph with gusts up to 15 mph. By Wednesday, we end up on the western side of the high pressure, which will shift our winds from the north to the south and southwest. This will start to increase our humidity and increase our temperatures going into the 2nd half of the week. Thursday our highs will be near average before another front looks to swing through Thursday night. As of now, I don't expect any major rain chances. However, I am seeing some signals that a few spotty showers could be possible. This would occur very late Thursday night or Friday morning. For now, I'm keeping the rain chance at a 10% until we get closer in time to this next system. Our temperatures will drop a little bit back to near 5-7 degrees below average but should rebound back to near average by next Sunday or Monday. Now, the major weather apps are showing it will be 80 on Friday, but both the GFS and Euro Models are agreeing with a frontal system that will move through Thursday night. It won't have much moisture to work with to produce showers and storms but will knock down our temperatures and the humidity going into the weekend.

**Radar Update as of 9:58am**
This line of storms has become a little more organized over the last several hours. However, no storms are severe at this time. Expect heavy downpours and frequent lightning though. Flash flooding will be possible as this line moves over your area!

The threat for severe weather really is going down as this line of storms has become very disorganized. The threat for flash flooding now looks to be the primary threat going through the day today. Be sure to pay attention if you’re driving in any flash flood prone areas! If you come to a flooded road way, TURN AROUND! DON’T DROWN!

** SEVERE WEATHER UPDATE **
As of now the entire region is under a level 2 threat for strong to severe thunderstorms for late tonight into your Sunday morning. Now this line of storms will be really disorganized so not everyone is going to see strong storms! The main threat will be damaging winds up to 60 mph and hail up to quarter size. The tornado risk is very low at this time, but is non zero! Keep it tuned to Bayou Country Weather tomorrow morning as I'll keep the radar updates going on my Facebook and Instagram stories and on my X/Twitter feed. The time frame to see any type of severe weather will be between 6am and 11am Sunday morning. More widely scattered showers and storms will follow for areas east of a line between Baton Rouge and Morgan City. These showers and storms will continue until late Sunday night and perhaps even early Sunday morning. Keep it tuned to Bayou Country Weather for the latest weather updates!!

**BCWX 5 Day Forecast**
Storms are likely tomorrow morning with a few severe storms possible across the area. After the frontal system pushes through Monday morning, skies will start to clear and sunny weather will be in the play for the next week! Temperatures will be cool on Monday, but we will warm back up to near average by the mid and later part of the week.

Here is your first official Weather forecast. Things are starting to come together as I am making new graphics and am preparing to hopefully start video forecasts soon. For tonight expect mostly cloudy skies with lows only in the mid 70's with winds out of the Southeast around 10-15 mph onshore and 20-25 mph along the coastline and offshore. Tomorrow we will have mostly cloudy skies with highs in the mid 80's onshore and the upper 70's to near 80 along the coastline and offshore. Winds will be out of the southeast around 20-30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph both on and offshore.

Good afternoon everyone!! You may have seen the page turn from River Valley Weather to now Bayou Country Weather. That is because I have moved to southeast and will be serving the bayou country for weather now. Thank you for all those that have supported my page over the last 6 years across western and eastern . I hope to make the same impact down here across southeastern and will hopefully be able to expand into southern whenever my target audience grows down here. Thank you again for the tremendous support and I hope that you'll recommend your friends and family that live down here to my page for the most accurate and dependable weather for southeast

**Weather Update**
I just wanted to post these temperature graphics for tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday. I think the forecast is trending cooler than originally predicted for Tuesday and Wednesday. It's not a major difference (only 3-6 degrees cooler) than what I forecasted last night. Also, our rain chances are slightly increasing for Tuesday night into Wednesday. Right now, I have it at a 30% chance for light scattered showers, but I'll keep an eye on those chances and will keep y'all posted.

**Weather Update**
Tuesdays high temperatures look to be a little cooler as a front boundary that’s moving through this evening will be a little bit stronger than forecasted. Temperatures may range from the low to mid 60’s. We could see some upper 60’s, however it just depends on how far south that cooler air pushes through the region.
