Tropical Storm Lee initially developed as Tropical Depression Thirteen in middle Gulf of Mexico on Thursday evening September 1st.   The depression moved slowly north and gradually strengthened, eventually reaching tropical storm strength just south of the  Louisiana coast on Friday afternoon September 2nd.  Tropical Storm Lee made only slow and haltingly northward progress over the next 24 hours eventually moving  onshore the southeast Louisiana coast Saturday night, September 3rd,  with a maximum sustained wind estimated around 60 mph.   Lee move slowly inland to north of Baton Rouge late Sunday September 4th, and eventually weakened to a tropical depression Sunday evening.
Tropical Depression Lee then moved steadily northeast throughout Monday, September 5th, taking on extra-tropical characteristics over the next 24 hours as it interacted with an upper level disturbance moving through the region. The maximum sustained wind observed in south Mississippi was a southeast wind 34 knots (39 mph) at Gulfport Airport on Sept 2nd at 2342 CST. The highest gust was recorded at the Gulfport Airport with a reading of 44 knots (51  mph) on Sept 2nd at 1735CST. Lowest minimum central pressure in south Mississippi was 997.0 mb at the McComb Airport at 1546 CST on Sept 4.
As Tropical Depression Lee was moving northeast and taking on mid-latitude characteristics, strong northerly winds were experienced across the region, occasionally gusting to higher levels than experienced when Lee was characterized as a tropical storm.
No fatalities or injuries were recorded in south Mississippi associated with any Tropical Storm Lee hazards.
The main impacts associated with Tropical Storm Lee were associated with storm surge and rainfall. Both of these impacts were related to its slow forward speed as it crossed the region. Storm surge associated with Lee caused tide values to be 2 to 4 feet above normal causing low land flooding near the coast. Additional detailed information is contained in the separate storm surge report.   Four day storm total rainfall ranged between 7 and 11 inches across the area.  A maximum of 11.2 inches was recorded at the Pascagoula Airport in Jackson County.  Dry antecedent conditions and low river levels caused river flooding to be minor for the amount of rainfall that occurred.
Wind impacts were generally minimal due to only tropical storm strength winds recorded, resulting in a few tree limbs and weak trees downed causing  power outages.
Damage estimates are very rough estimates from reports received during and after the storm. All of the hazards associated with TS Lee resulted in an estimated $200,000 in property damage.  There were three confirmed tornado touchdowns in coastal Mississippi resulting in an estimated $100,000 in property damage. Flash flooding contributed an estimated $25,000 in damage.
