Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Belle Chasse, LA

LONG TERM
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 216 AM CDT Thu May 22 2025

A new front will begin to move in from the NW by the start of the new week. This will cause some sh/ts to develop well ahead of this front for Mon becoming more numerous as the front moves into the area Tue. This should cause the best chance of rainfall across the area. Numbers supporting severe storms are higher to the north and NW of the area for Mon and Tue but there is some evidence for supporting at least a low risk of severe storms Mon and Tue.
Depending on whether this front slows at the coast or stalls, we could see some sh/ts last into Wed and Thu.
