Tropical Storm Lee was downgraded to a depression on Monday but is still expected to dump a significant amount of rain on the Southeast United States.
Lee will likely produce between 6 and 10 inches of rain in the central Appalachian region and in the Deep South, according to the National Weather Service.
The Northeast, with some parts still waterlogged due to last week’s Hurricane Irene, may get between 2 and 6 inches of rain caused by Lee’s remnants.
In Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi, Lee’s rains caused flooding. At least one person, a 57-year-old Mississippi man, was taken away by floodwaters and killed, reported The Associated Press.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center removed all coastal tropical storm warnings, noting that Lee was around 35 miles west-northwest of New Orleans by midday.
