Re: Alex forms :)

This system may actually grow into a fairly strong tropical storm. Remember, the last discussion had it strengthening into a tropical storm, but it reached that status about 24 hours earlier than forecast. Also, Alex is over the Gulf Stream - a place where disorganised systems such as Bertha (96) have swiftly organised. As well as this, Alex doesn't seem to be in that much of a hurry to move inland, and if the period of favourable upper level conditions verifies... well, let's just watch and see what happens.
