The map below shows the 7-day total precipitation encompassing the first week of September through this morning at 7am. As you can see Tropical Storm Lee and it’s remnants brought remarkable amounts of precipitation to the Gulf Coast states and Tennessee Valley, thanks in large part to it’s very slow motion.
While Memphis locations generally received under a half-inch, parts of northeast Mississippi received over 6″ of rain! Many locations in a swath across LA, MS, the FL panhandle, north AL, and east TN received 8″+. Below the map are selected rainfall totals for the storm, as reported to the NWS.
