TD#1 is looking like it'll hit Alex tonight, there is some very high cloud tops near the center of the system right now.




You aren't joking. I've never seen cloud tops like this in a depression. I've rarely seem them in a tropical storm, in fact - they're normally not this high except in major hurricanes! And, it's HUGE.
