if you take a look at Hi-Res close-up sats in last two hrs... the storms that fired on the northern side of coc... got strong enough to send a downburst to the north... u gotta look close, cus sun is fading, but clearly there is a downburst from the storms that just fired off the center... which to me means that Alex is cooking again... recon within 25 miles of center. NE side

Recon has recorded 3 consecutive pressure reading in the 991mb range. Thats quite a bit deeper and there are vast areas of TS force winds

Try this one (before it gets too dark):
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/float1.html
Click on visible - short loop. Bring up to maximum speed. Click on Zoom. Click on the area that you want to magnify (at least six times). Center is pretty easy to locate.

recon did a loop on coc at 2kft... its within 10 miles off the coast.. they hit flight level center at 19.2167N 91.0833W... appears to the flight level center is very small.. maybe 15 miles wide at 2k ft. with a flight level temp in middel at 71F, dew pt. 57F

Curious flight pattern.... it looks like they circled the LLC, but didn't go into it. They're headed outbound now. Will they make another pass?

so far the data i have seen supports a TS with winds of 40mph... haven't seen anything that would show higher... the max winds appears to be on the north side... maybe NW, but only 25 miles or less from center... Recon is approaching the heavy feeder band to the NW of COC.

Interesting Ed, this may atone for the odd model behavior I noted earlier, of the 12Z guidance. They were showing a broadened llv pressure pattern and weakening wind field, and then out of now where a closure took place along the NW Yucatan Penn - it was as though the vorticity sheared out and severed into a newly developing system! Fascinating, but perhaps it was the displaced(ing) mlv center then drilling down when/if new convection develops as the overall lower pressure core goes back over the hot waters of the Bay.

It appears there was some recent rejuvenation of convective banding. Also, Alex has slowed some this evening in his forward motion. This could be a concern that a track change is about to take place.

This thing is a lot more impressive leaving the land than when it entered it.

47 mph? Is that SFC or fl?
Either way, it's enough to upgrade... but that would be a big jump at the surface.

00z data did go with TS Alex. Recon is making second pass and prolly last pass on center as i write this.
Alex 00Z data:
...INITIAL CONDITIONS...
LATCUR = 19.2N LONCUR = 91.1W DIRCUR = 300DEG SPDCUR = 7KT
LATM12 = 18.6N LONM12 = 90.1W DIRM12 = 299DEG SPDM12 = 9KT
LATM24 = 17.5N LONM24 = 88.1W
WNDCUR = 35KT RMAXWD = 20NM WNDM12 = 30KT
CENPRS = 991MB OUTPRS = 1004MB OUTRAD = 200NM SDEPTH = D
RD34NE = 150NM RD34SE = 20NM RD34SW = 20NM RD34NW = 60NM

Forward motion of Alex has really slowed down a lot, to be almost stationary.
