Latest visible imagery shows that Lee is very near the Coast along the Cameron/Vermillion Parish line. If you look closely, you can see the two vorts are very close together...

NAM model for Lee. An interesting one. NAM has handled Lee well.

Is that even possible? Wouldn't the ridge have to build back in REALLY strong for that to happen?

Baytown is also getting some nice strong wind gusts from Tropical Storm Lee, as well. There were two breif yet nice rain showers earlier as well.

I'm suprised how far west the clouds/rain have gotten. It's cloudy with dark skies in the east and it looks like the system isn't done making westerly progress yet...
