Meteorological Analysis
|
Lee originated from a tropical wave which moved off the coast of Africa on
August 24th. This wave was very vigorous and spawned a low pressure,
by the 28th the low pressure organized enough to be considered a tropical
depression. The depression was very disorganized and had multiple weak
vorticity centers. Also, shear removed most convection from the center. On
the 29th the depression degenerated into a broad low. The low then moved
north east between ridges. On the 31st the low became more organized again
and banding became evident. The low was reclassifed as a depression and
it was upgraded into tropical storm Lee later in the day. Then Lee meandered
as it interacted with a non-tropical low. The low weakened Lee, and Lee became
a tropical depression again. Lee then absorbed the low but, transitioned into
an area of low pressure on the 2nd of September. Max winds with Lee were 40 mph.
