Alex....

been on web last hrs or so and looking at Upper-Level Wind Shear..... notice -3hrs and -3hrs before..... the anticyclonic flow (near SE GA, not to far from Alex) looks like it will make it to the storm overnight and set-up for an interesting night and early morning......
not to mention alex is right over the Gulf Stream and shallow water (100m-800m)......
could alex become a strong TS by morning/maybe cat 1 hurr?

landfall doesn't look like it will happen on the storm......

(-3hrs a few times) and forward
