There is actually quite a bit left of this no-longer named low pressure system, and it is sitting over the northern part of the East Coast producing a fair amount of rain. "So what?" you say! Good question. The thing is, that a hurricane in the Atlantic by the name of Katia (accent on the first syllable, long 'a', hard k, rhymes with onomatopoeia) is probably gong to restrain this low pressure to the region of the continent instead of letting it waft off into the North Atlantic. Likely, Katia will push ex-Lee west. So, the Eastern Great Lakes and the Ohio Valley can expect mondo rain, and that system will then have the opportunity to pass east again. The reason I mention this in a post about hurricanes is that the whole scenario is a tropical weather pattern and it is more important than average given the amount of rain that as fallen in the region this season.
