Came home this afternoon and have a quick observation about Tropical Storm Lee. While there is still a lot of dry air around, the "moisture field" has increased a lot since last night. This should increase the rainfall potential. The flooding threat continues with or without the dry air, but this increase in moisture will unfortunately increase the flooding threat at well. Check out Stu Ostro's page on facebook/twitter, as he has a cool graphic depicting this. In the end, the dry air really saved the northern Gulf Coast from potentially a really bad flood event in my opinion. Yes, there will still be flooding (some bad spots), but without the dry air, I think this event could have been historic! The remnants of Lee needs to be watch closely as it moves into the Appalachians (Flooding threat will continue). Also, keep in mind that the tornado threat continues as well...
