Keeping an Eye on the Tropics...



Tropical Storm Lee made landfall along the Gulf Coast over the weekend. Lee is dumping heavy rains over the same areas because the system is moving so slow.

As of Sunday night @ 9 pm, Lee was only moving to the North @ 5 mph. Late Sunday Evening Lee was downgraded to a Tropical Depression with winds of 35 mph.




However, more trouble is brewing in the Atlantic Ocean. This weekend Katia became a Hurricane and is forecasted to intensify into a major Hurricane by Wednesday with winds exceeding 110 mph.

Right now, it appears that it'll just graze the Eastern seaboard but it's way to early too be certain. We'll keep you updated throughout the week online and on-air!
