TS Alex

Morning discussion is rather gloomy. Models have split. Mexico or La/Tx border. Eastern most model is over the Mississippi River just west of Baton Rouge,LA.

Quite a swing from yesterday and NHC is seeing an increase in convective bands with an eye like feature noted in the 4 AM discussion.

Have to check on RECON as Alex is over land and that normally prevents dropping dropsondes but they may be able to fly the storm anyway.
EDIT- RECON is not scheduled to depart until 5PM EDT this afternoon. New TCPOD should be out around 9 AM.

Belize and Mexican radar are being used by NHC to track Alex in the meanwhile.
