Look Katia eats Lee in tonight's model run:

That would be bad I think.

anyone notice that both Katia and Lee are on a trajectory that if extrapolated leads them both right to DC?

SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...VISIBLE ANIMATION THROUGH 2155Z SHOWS
THE WELL DEFINED LOW LEVEL CENTER OF LEE VERY CLOSE TO THE COAST OF SW
LA NEAR S VERMILLION PARRISH WITH AN APPARENT SLIGHT WESTWARD WOBBLE IN
THE FEATURE SEEN IN VISIBLE IMAGERY. A SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION OF COLDER
CLOUD TOPS HAS RECENTLY BEEN NOTED WITH A BAND TO THE NW OF THE CENTER
OVER SW LA WHERE SATELLITE ESTIMATED RATES ARE NEAR 1.5"/HALF HOUR. HAVE
ALSO SEEN RECENT 3 HOUR OBSERVED METAR TOTALS ENDING AT 21Z OF 1.25"
TO AROUND 1.5" ACROSS W CENT AND SW LA. VIS/IR IMAGERY AND COMPOSITE
RADAR DATA SHOW THIS AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN HAS SPREAD FARTHER TO
THE WEST ACROSS THE TX/LA BORDER INTO E AND SE TX. TO THE EAST, VISIBLE
IMAGERY INDICATES THE DRY SLOT HAS WRAPPED AROUND FROM SE INTO S CENT LA
WITH BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS SEEN. SOME CONVECTION HAS FORMED IN THE DRY
SLOT DURING THE AFTERNOON, BUT THE BULK OF THE MORE INTENSE BANDS HAVE
FOCUSED ON AREAS TO THE EAST OVER S MS/SW AL/FAR NW FL. IN THIS REGION,
3 HOURLY METAR OBSERVED TOTALS ANS SATELLITE ESTIMATES ARE SHOWING 1-2"
TOTALS WITH ISOLATED SPOTS NEAR 3" AND POSSIBLY HIGHER.

10-15 MINUTES.

FLARE UP OVER SW LA AS WELL AS THE CONTINUATION OF BANDS SPREADING INLAND
OVER S MA/SW AL/FAR NW FL AS THE PRIMARY HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT AREAS FOR
THE NEXT 2-3 HOURS. CONCERN EXISTS FOR ADDITIONAL INTENSE BANDS TO FORM
TO THE NW AND N OF THE LOW LEVEL CENTER OF LEE RESULTING IN VERY INTENSE
RAIN RATES AND SIGNIFICANT TOTALS ACROSS SW TO S CENT LA. TO THE EAST,
SEE NO REAL LET UP IN THE PERSISTENT BANDS MOVING INLAND OVER S MS/SW

TOPS OFFSHORE SPREADING NORTHWARD TOWARD THE COAST. ADDITIONAL TOTALS
OF AT LEAST 1-3" ARE LIKELY IN THIS REGION DURING THE NEXT 2-3 HOURS.

Lee moving due east it looks like. Models are clueless on this one





Wires: Situation in Bayou area reaching a critical point with rain serouisly starting to pile up

We've had repeated tornado warnings overnight and this morning, but so far no real tornadoes. These ****ers better stop doing this **** or people will stop paying attention to the so-called "Warnings" and then when the REAL tornado shows up they're going to get flattened.

Cold front just hit us here in north TX this morning... finally, some cool air... mid 80s for the week! The front should carry Lee off to the NE.

Genesis you live in florida right? What part? Or is it not florida?

Panhandle, near Destin.

For some reason i thought you lived in the keys. Lol waaaaay off

C'mon Lee. Drift NW to NE Texas where we have had drought conditions all summer. We are losing crops, pastureland, and trees to heat and drought. A rural area in Cass County, Texas is under evacuation because of fires right now. Our TSA-fighting friend Texas state rep David Simpson recently lost 450 acres of pine timberland to a wildfire. Please give us a break and send us some precip, lots of precip.

Here in Bama we have had rain on and off all day. It has been perfect-rain has a chance to soak in before next wave comes. Despite this happening since about 9 am our creek bed is still dry!

Has an area ever been hit by a tropical storm, have it then go back out to sea, reform and hit the same area as a hurricane?
