Along the Louisiana coast and river corridors, a deceptively gentle weekend offers one last breath of ease before a harder reckoning arrives. The Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers are already swollen beyond their flood thresholds — ferry landings closed, university grounds waterlogged, river towns navigating cautiously — and the warm, dry days ahead carry within them the quiet warning of what follows: a week of heavy rain that may push already-strained systems further still. It is the oldest of weather stories, the calm that is not a reprieve but a preparation.
