. .Tropical Storm Lee is bearing down on the Gulf Coast this morning with wave after wave of hard rain.
.Thousands of customers have lost power in Louisiana and Mississippi and the storm has also generated mandated evacuations in Louisiana bayou towns.
.The center of Tropical Storm Lee is now on the coast of southern Louisiana with maximum sustained winds of 45 miles per hour.
.However, conditions won't change much just because the center is on the coast, since the center isn't where the strongest winds are located.
."In this case it's not so important to focus on the center. The center is on the coast and it's going to be moving inland in the next several hours," said Todd Kimberlin with the National Hurricane Center. "In this case all the front winds are well removed from the center."
.Low lying coastal areas were victim to flooding, making some roads so difficult, that the only way to navigate them is by paddling.
. snip .Tropical Storm Lee's heavy rains still pose the threat of more extensive flooding or flash flooding to the Gulf Coast.
."Some chance that the rain will persist today and tomorrow and add to the totals which have already fallen and then the storm is expected to lose tropical characteristics and become post tropical," said Kimberlin.
