ATL: LEE - Remnants - Discussion

[Chacor]

If that were true, the NHC would refer to this as "Post-Tropical Cyclone Lee", not "Tropical Depression Lee".

[Nikki]

NEXT ADVISORY
-------------
THIS IS THE LAST PUBLIC ADVISORY ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL HURRICANE
CENTER ON LEE. FUTURE INFORMATION ON LEE CAN BE FOUND IN PUBLIC
ADVISORIES ISSUED BY THE HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER...
UNDER AWIPS HEADER TCPAT3 AND WMO HEADER WTNT33 KWNH...BEGINNING AT
400 AM CDT.

[psyclone]

After the last advisory is written on a system we always put the word Remnants.

But the last advisory hasn't been written. The HPC could still warn on this at 4 am as a tropical depression!

will this matter a week from now? will it make one iota of difference as to what type of flood precautions those in the path of potentially heavy rain take? who cares. we're still watching it.

[bamajammer4eva]

I think the NHC hands advisories off to the HPC when Coastal watches and warning are no longer needed in the US. With Irene, they stopped advisories while tropical storm warning were still in effect for Canada but Canada has their own Hurricane centre'. Gale warnings and coastal flood advisories have been issued again for the areas needed like they would for any other baroclinic system

[supercane]

Agree with Chacor's reasoning that changing the thread title to remnants may be premature, because a) NHC has not called Lee post-tropical or a remnant low (although one could argue maybe it should be), and b) HPC has in the past titled its advisories with the term "tropical depression" if warranted. Doing a quick internet search reveals a relevant example:

PUBLIC ADVISORY NUMBER 32 FOR TROPICAL DEPRESSION KATRINA
NWS...HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER...CAMP SPRINGS MD
4 PM CDT TUE AUG 30 2005

...KATRINA CONTINUES PUSHING THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY...THREAT FOR
FLOODING REMAINS...
<snip>

In any event, the first HPC advisory will tell the tale.

[Will504]

I've had more rain today then the previous 3 days combined. Before today I had about 3 inches, now my total for this storm is approaching 8 inches. Been stuck under a feeder ban for most of the day and the last 8 hours or so straight!! (just west of Covington, La)

[SapphireSea]

As it was said, the NHC no longer needs to issue warnings based off this system. There are no discernible sustained TS winds anywhere around this system. There are barely if any SUSTAINED TD winds at the surface with the system. This is a rain event now. TD/Remnants/Trough/PostTrop-Low it's all the same to the environment. There will be dangerous amounts of rain in the path of the system, and there is still a moderate tornado threat. There is no storm surge, no damaging winds (outside of a tornado) to warn about, there is no difference between this and any other major flood producing system, tropical or non.

The term TD will probably be used by the HPC to keep records straight probably to describe the type of system this was, although with the way it looks entrenched in the front, I'd say it will be post tropical soon enough for the HPC to call it out as such.

[7&COUNTING]

Preparing for 3-5" rain here in Covington,Ga. I know the grass will be happy! Can anyone tell me if the advancing cold front that will mingle with Lee's remnants will increase the rainfall? I am a weather novice. Thanks in advance.

[Chacor]

Now it's officially extratropical.

DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
AT 400 AM CDT...0900 UTC...THE CENTER OF LEE WAS RELOCATED TO NEAR
LATITUDE 30.2 NORTH...AND LONGITUDE 90.8 WEST. LEE HAS BECOME
EXTRATROPICAL OVER SOUTHERN LOUISIANA AS IT HAS MERGED WITH A
FRONTAL ZONE WITH COOL AND DRY AIR INFILTRATING THE CIRCULATION
CENTER FROM THE NORTH AND WEST. THE EXTRATROPICAL LOW CENTER IS
EXPECTED TO TURN TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST...BRINGING THE CENTER INTO
SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI TODAY AND INTO ALABAMA ON TUESDAY. TROPICAL
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF LEE WILL CONTINUE TO
INTERACT WITH THE FRONTAL ZONE...AND EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIN IS
EXPECTED TO FALL IN LOCATIONS WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE CIRCULATION
CENTER.

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 35 MPH...55 KM/H...WITH HIGHER
GUSTS.

MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 994 MB...29.36 INCHES.

-------
RAINFALL...THE REMNANTS OF LEE ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE TOTAL RAIN
ACCUMULATIONS OF 10 TO 15 INCHES ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST

THROUGH TUESDAY. HEAVY RAINS WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND NORTHEASTWARD
INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS
THROUGH TUESDAY...WHERE RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES ARE
EXPECTED...WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS OF 12 INCHES POSSIBLE. THESE

[wxman57]

Don't think that a remnant low is necessarily any less of a threat. Allison was a remnant low in 2001 when it dumped 36" on Houston 4 days after it moved inland then swung back around to the south. In this case, though, Lee is much less of a threat.

[CrazyC83]

Major tornado threat today.

[stormy70]

Getting some pretty heavy rains over here south of Fairhope. Has been raining off and on all morning long. Wind picks up good bit during the storms. Someone said that at one time during one of the storms we were having 50 mph winds but I have not heard that through the local weather. That is just hear say. I do know a couple that live on a boat near Fly Creek and Fairhope Yacht Club had water almost over the pier. Water is up over the causeway. Actually I think the causeway is close right now. Will update later. Doing okay right now.

[Sanibel]

Windy from the south way down here from Lee.

[SunnyThoughts]

I"m absolutely exhausted. Here in Pace, ( just to the east of Pensacola) we had 3 tornado warnings last night...from before midnight to around 3 am. Made it through fine, no loss of power or anything. Now today we get this: Winds of 30 to 40 mph with gusts to 60...more rain, with a tornado watch until 7pm HIgh wind warning until 7pm also. Take a hike lee...we've had enough dude. They are saying the weak saturated roots on many trees will probably cause a few to fall today with the high winds. NWS words out of Mobile today: " Tropical depression Lee will strengthen as a non-tropical low today bringing wide spread high winds across the area".

[Kennethb]

Here in south Baton Rouge we ended up with 8.7 inches.

Too we had three days of gusty winds. I would think the maximum sustained was around 30 mph, but some gusts to near 50 in the heaviest squalls.

[SIMWMBA]

Part of the Mobile Bay Causeway (HWY 90/98) has been closed all morning due to flooding by wind driven waves on top of astronomical high tide.
This plus the holiday traffic exodus has overloaded I-10 westbound causing delays from Mobile east to Malbis.

The 'good news' is the rain has ended in Mobile and the winds are switching to NW as the remnant low is pulling out.
