Aletta looks worse then most tropical waves right now. It just died in a matter of hours with the NHC calling for some strengthening tonight. It went poof for sure and it's still a tropical storm!! I bet the NHC will call it a depression at the next issue and it weakening to nothing.

What was the reason it went poof tonight? The shear was keeping the system from gaining strength 2 days ago and then the shear weakening and so did aletta? I'm confused of why Aletta was alive during the high shear and then it went poof when the shear disappeared.
