EDIT: Lee is no longer being followed by the National Hurricane Center.


It will still be followed by the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center at www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/tropical/tropstorms.shtml for as long as it remains a discernible system and affects the United States.  The HPC numbers their bulletins following the NHS and along the same schedule, so the next advisory will be at 5:00 am EDT.

While Lee's center passed very close to my area, the wind never reached the 35-50 mph that was forecasted; I'm not even sure I got a gust of 40. Impacts were pretty mild for me. I was able to watch the LSU game with power and go to mass the next day with no problems whatsoever. The biggest winds I felt were very early this morning when a front came through. The people to the east of me around New Orleans, Gulfport, and Mobile probably have a windier, wetter story to tell.

Boy, you don't see this often in a tropical system (well extra-tropical now) MODERATE RISK FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES ACROSS E CENTRAL AL & CENTRAL GA. That Tornado Watch in Alabama will either be extended east or a new one will be issued east into GA later on today.

Coffee County, AL just had a tornado warning, went live. While live, I peered out the window to see none other than a tornado on the ground. Who to call? NWS! Guess who didn't believe me?

That's happened multiple times with me trying to report hail. Even though I am a trained spotter, I am still a 'kid' and they can tell that. You really have to try to deepen/mature your voice. ;) :P

Austin and Trevor, make sure you indicate to the NWS that you are trained spotters and have your parents with you on the phone if it helps.  Furthermore, take some pictures to show proof of evidence, and ask if there's any way you can send them to the office via email or some other way.  I have to handle verification calls like these often, so showing as much credibility and evidence as possible really helps people like me on the other end.

Flood watches and warnings are up along a big part of the eastern United States today.  Stay safe from the flooding, everyone!  Feel free to post any reports you witness in this thread, too.

I have a video of a rapidly rotating funnel cloud that I called in (I did state my ID No. and such) and they took no action but to just say, "awesome, please do take some pictures of it," then proceeded to thank me for the report and hung up. I never sent them the video because I did not feel I needed to after the event, and at the time I had no internet access. Perhaps I am doing something wrong?

SKYWARN does use twitter. You could upload your video to youtube, and then make a storm report via Twitter to your office, linking to the video.
