The precursor to Tropical Storm Lee started out in an area of disturbed weather over the Caribbean Sea. A low pressure system called a tropical wave then emerged from this and traveled into the Gulf of Mexico. There this system gradually became better organized until it was classified as Tropical Depression Thirteen. The depression then fed of the moist air over the Gulf, eventually becoming a strong tropical storm named Lee.

The storm named Allison never became a hurricane, it was just a tropical storm. A hurricane/tropical storm name is retired if the storm is especially devastating, and Tropical Storm Allison of 2001 caused massive damage from flooding. Because of this no future storm will be named Allison (normally a name is reused every 6 years). So instead the first tropical storm in the Atlantic in 2007 was named Andrea.
