Apparently this system is moving over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, so it doesn't have a huge amount of time left, but I still think it will develop. The first tropical system doesn't form in this area that often, but is does happen. I doubt that this will get named Alex, but it may surprise us. It will be nice to get that name out of the way, there have been so many false alarms. Even so, hopefully the name will get attached to a worthwhile system.

Regarding the 2 invests in the E. Pacific, I think that one may well be upgraded to TD #5E today, and then possibly Darby.

A lot of activity today, it seems.
