SUMMARY: A storm system is forecast to hit areas south of Interstate 10 on Friday with moderate to heavy rainfall and a marginal risk of severe weather, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). Another storm system is expected on Monday, bringing the possibility of severe thunderstorms, including large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes, with up to one inch of rain. Southwest Louisiana will maintain seasonal temperatures post-storms.
