ATL: LEE - Remnants - Discussion

[TexWx]

Stalled again?

[Kory]

Stalled again?

Looks that way. Probably just a short term thing since the trough is going to pull it to the NE soon. But who knows with this system...

[Janie2006]

The front is approaching and at a fairly rapid clip. Lee (or what's left of him) won't be sitting still much longer.

A 77 degree day courtesy of Lee. I thank him for that.

[gone2beach]

I wonder if Lee gets any awards for being the slowest storm??

[PTrackerLA]

Lee can get on moving now, I can't stand these dreary drizzly days. We've been in a heavy drizzle all day with breezy conditions, much like in the winter after a cold front except it's very muggy. Here's hoping to the sun coming out tomorrow!

I live along I-20 in East Texas and just got a 43 MPH gust. Some of my potted plants have been knocked over!

It has been quite windy here in Houston but I haven't seen any rain, at least on the West side. Gusts have been to 37 mph which I find strange considering how far W of the center we are.

Gusts to 44 mph here in Austin (airport). Local news says it's Lee but ...

Unfortunately, the wind is causing a LOT of problems for firefighters.

This thing is still a tropical cyclone?

Looks like there has been damage in Mobile and Baldwin County from suspected tornadoes but nothing confirmed yet.

We have had some rough weather this afternoon and I have a feeling as TS Lee makes that turn toward the East it is going to get kind of rocky for us down here in MS, Alabama, and FL.

Honestly Lee looked to have better structure over land today than he ever had over water for the most part.Had some OK winds about 1-2:30 PM this afternoon steady for that time at maybe 25-30mph in Biloxi.I do not know if anyone else posted but the tide on the beach must of came up some awful close to the seawall.Some of the vendors small crafts within 20yards of Hwy90 this morning with plenty of sand to the point one needed to drive down the center of the Eastbound lane at times.I usually look to August as our tough part of the season but by the looks of the models if they are to be believed all of us need to be watching.

Noob here but been lurking since Alex last year.. very windy in Austin, actually has brought down a fence in my neighborhood...

great to on-board!

[Ixolib]

Didn't know Mark was in town... And with Cantore to boot!!

The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore reports on Tropical Storm Lee from the beach in Biloxi.

[Janie2006]

I get the impression that people I know (off these boards) think everything is over and done. Maybe it's a case of short attention spans. In any case, it's not quite over. Lee is going to interact with the approaching trough and produce a lot of heavy rain as it stumbles north and northeast.

[off-topic] And I'm not enjoying the model output, although I'm not quite buying some of the solutions for next week and beyond. [/off-topic]
