Re: Alex - Left Turn, now moving W to WNW?

Last night I thought we'd have hurricane Alex in the morning, but we didn't get it. We still don't have it. The NHC is right on top of it, and has gotten the intensity right since Alex exited the Yucatan.

It seems to me though that Alex is tracking urther south than they had predicted, and is picking up speed and racing WNW at a nice clip.

It's looking better, but it still seems to have a lot of dry air mixed in with the individual spiral bands.

I suspect Alex will reach cane status tonite as predicted.
