I kinda disagree... it appears to me that Alex is starting a rapid intensification stage... New Hot towers near center have me worried... the outflow from these storms is killing the shear that was to the west and northwest of the coc... It apppeared early we may have seen an eye like feature or the coc of Alex peak out... see attached... if Alex can fill in the NW side of COC where the drier air is at... in about 6hrs or so... will know if these Hot towers caused a strengthing stage or not...

Oh absolutely, it's just that lack of cold convection on the northwest side of the core that's making it look a mess on IR, but at the same time you can see it attempting to wrap it in there quite vigorously. I think tomorrow it's going to take off, if it can get far enough offshore anyway.
