Remnants of Tropical Storm Lee could flood Atlantic states, Northeast

The remnants of former Tropical Storm Lee were forecast to bring heavy rainfall and flooding along the Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic states as they move up the East Coast on Wednesday. The system also was expected to dump additional rain on the Northeast, which has yet to dry out after Hurricane Irene last week. Flood and flash flood watches and warnings were posted from the South through the Appalachians and up into the Northeast as the remnants of Lee tracked north.
