ATL: LEE - Remnants - Discussion

[windnrain]

Under a tornado warning right now...

[stormreader]

On a side note, funny how the graph at the top of the page has Lee and Katia appearing to head toward the same general location in the northeast! Not really laughing though.

[windnrain]

The wind is dead again.

I mean I'm not even seeing tropical storm force winds here. Just a strong rainshower.

[Nimbus]

Not much in the way of steering winds. Lee looks almost stationary this morning, there was even a little wobble to the southeast.

That dry air over Texas is amazing, the few shower bands that have made it across the LA border are not much more than ornamental, they are not contributing to Lee's functional structure at all.

[windnrain]

It looks like the rain is breaking up on the radar too, south of me.

[CajunMama]

Darn that heavy rain waking me up after i finally got back to sleep again. Just windy and rainy here.

And the forecast track now looks to take Lee right over Lafayette, La. It has shifted west a little. Pressure has fallen off quite a bit too. Now at 29.38 inches which is usually equivalent to a decent tropical storm. The "center" should be very near Lafayette in the wee hours of tomorrow morning. Yesterday the hope in Cajun country expressed by local mets was that most of the wet stuff would be further east. Well it will be there allright, but the Lafayette-New Iberia area looks to get in on a little more of the action than anticipated.

That's what I heard this morning. Today should be interesting. I need to stay home and make my diabetic dogs food so this is a good day to do it. But then again i bet the mall will be empty and they've got those good labor day sales going on!!! What to do!!! What to do!!!

[Jagno]

The malls don't open for another 4 hours so hurry up and finish that dog food between now and 10am. LOL Problem solved with enough time to nap this afternoon as well. Life is good!

[tigergirl]

Looks like we had tornado warnings just about all night long not to mention rain.

[gone2beach]

We are under another tornado warning now...

Blustery winds, last 24 hr rainfall = 3.88

[sittingduck]

Looks like Lee is again trying to wrap some convection around - will it succeed this time?

Actually, Lee has ever so slightly gained a little forward speed. He was creeping along at only 2 mph late last night, but now is moving at 7 mph to the N/NW. It is still a very slow movement, but if he maintains a forward motion of 7 mph, the center should reach the coast by early tomorrow morning.

[BigA]

Recon found a wind shift at 28.967N 91.883W, which is a good deal southeast of where the center was placed in the most recent advisory. Not sure if this shift is anomalous, but it didn't seem like an eddy, and I doubt that a storm with a pressure of 994 mb, even a relatively disorganized one like Lee, would have multiple eddies.

If this is the center above, gives Lee about 6 more hours over water

OK, recon dropped a sonde that found 993 mb pressure and nearly no wind at 28.96N 91.88W. Makes sense that this is the center.

Lee reminds me of a weaker 1998 hurricane Earl. Fairly low pressure for its intensity and terrible satellite presentation.

Another mission is under the way:
