A slight risk for excessive rainfall and a moderate risk for severe weather has been issued along the Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama coastlines Tuesday as a strengthening storm system makes its way east.

The north end of the system will then move over the Great Lakes on Wednesday. While unlikely severe, this does set up for a long, rainy day for much of the Midwest.
