Tropical Depression 1E Now Tropical Storm Alma

Tropical Depression 1E has now been upgraded to Tropical Storm Alma per the NAVY website. There is a very impressive structure with well-defined center that now has developed an intense CDO, obvious banding features to the south, and the circulation has continued to tighten and deepen, thus lending to further strengthening. Would not be surprised to see a moderate tropical storm when they issue the advisory - that is winds between 50 and 60 mph.
