Re: Some thoughts on Alex...

Hey guys,
just a brief post on Alex and the two invests:

Alex i think has potential to become a Hurricane by tonight. It has been an unusual system in that it sat there for a day, then suddenly strengthened quite markedly in a short period of time. Now it is heading ENE, but with a turn to the NE expected it will bring the core pretty close to the Outer Banks. The latest Radar loops from Charleston seem to indicate that there may already be a more northerly component to the motion of Alex.

Both waves looks decent, and i think we could see 91L classified within the next 12 to 24 hours if it holds together. 92L also looks impressive, but hasnt been around for quite so long, and may need to persist a while longer yet.

Regards
