Strange how the wave stubbornly refuses to fizzle out when it is experiencing quite unfavourable conditions, and then when it reaches a more conducive environment for strengthening it falls apart.

Still, as Phil said, it's a wait and see. Maybe the wave in the central Atlantic will become a player in a few days. It doesn't look like much now, but as it travels further west something may happen...

You get the idea that as more time elapses, the chances increase that Alex will be a formidable storm - probably a CV. Just a thought.
