Tropical Storm Lee was the 12th named storm of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, which briefly reached tropical storm strength in between Bermuda and the Azores before being absorbed into a cold front on September 4. Lee was the second weakest storm of the season, next to Tropical Storm Bret, though it did last longer than Bret did. It was also the least notable, and probably least acknowledged storm of the season. Lee never threatened land, and no ships were reported to have come into contact with Lee. No damage or deaths are associated with the tropical storm.
