If the forum moderators don't mind I see no problem with the cut and paste tactic. Some users don't have high speed and it's nice to see the data without navigating to the site. At least the info is "on topic" unlike your reply to James88.

That I believe is for 92L, and if it holds true, could be a fish.

Hate to be the naysayer...91L looks a bit ragged to me, still sorta skeletal....may be undergoing what I call the 'transition' from wave to TD, sometimes they 'flare down' at that point....technically, it probably is a TD, but, I don't see it as a sure thing yet, same for the system behind it.
Almost certain Alex is, or will be a hurricane. TS's can develop eyes, have seen that down as far as 50 mph a few years ago, Alex is probably up to about 65-70 mph now...twt, looks likely he will be Hurricane #1. And in the spot I expected the first storm to form too..although that was two months ago...:) And doesnt seem to be a in a hurry to go anywhere...so far...

The latest adviosry still has Alex at 60mph, but says that there is still the potential for him to strengthen into a hurricane.

Wow, we wait for two months and everything seems to come at once - not that I'm complaining. The wave really has held together remarkably well given that it is currently surrounded by dry air. Will await 5:00 advisories with great interest.
Alex; 3.5/3.5 - so it would seem to be a 55 knot storm. We'll see.

Alex eye now completely closed on Charleston radar and thunderstorm flare-up on visible image on western eyewall
91L will likely be a TD not at 5pm but at 11pm; it is not yet classified as '02L.NONAME' but is still 91L
92L is well on its way to becomming a TD by mid week
both waves are 1012 mb, have upper ridging, and have a Pacitic-style west flow at low latitude, so they are both closed lows but not TDs yet
It is possible that by Friday that we could be talking about 's Bonnie and
back to Alex, it probably has about 12 to 24 hours left to become a hurricane (which I think it will do) before the shear kicks back in from the west

floater 2
look at the latitude
last time i did this for the Atlantic, i put up the wrong one (during Celia)
this is the correct Atlantic image
South America is to the SW
look closely at the beginning of the frame: 10N/about 11N or 12N
is that the center?
and to think, on July 30, i was considering lowering my forecast to 8/4/1

This is the most recent quikscat for 91L. Sure looks to have some TS winds, if not TD.
I gotta agree with Bugsy, though. If it ain't NONAME02L pretty soon, it ain't gonna be TD2 at 5:00.
