Tropical TS Alex

[Brent]

Still no Alex

However, the associated convection is poorly
organized, with radar data from Cuba and Mexico showing that the
strong convection over the northwestern Caribbean Sea more resembles
a mid-latitude squall line than a tropical cyclone rain band.

GFS east and weaker than Nam but the GFS has a double play in 15 days.

This thing needs help. It may get past Florida before it's named

Brent,
I for one would be happy if we never saw the D name this entire year ...

Moved 10 miles south of West Palm Beach from Charlotte, NC just over 2 years ago, checking in. Not much action here currently, just a steady rain and the wind hasn't really kicked up yet. Looks like the bulk of the moisture is just to my south, I'm sure we will have some flooding issues tomorrow. Will snap some pics in the AM if they are worthy.

This thing could quite possibly be the worst looking thing I've ever seen the NHC issue advisories on

I keep hearing conditions are gonna improve but like yikes

Just some heavy rain. No real winds.

At least so far it's not named... Doesn't really count

So is Potential Tropical Cyclone the new name for a Tropical Depression?

No it's just a new thing where they issue watches and warnings for a potential storm. This all started because Sandy happened with no hurricane warnings. The impacts don't go away just because of the classification basically is the whole point of a PTC which I mean to be fair even if this was named the impacts wouldn't be any different it's had hints of TS winds on and off for 2 days

If it had a well defined center it would be a TD or a TS even

Looks like it may be trying to reform east of Florida per the recon. The winds support Alex if they find a center

This is just a reminder of what’s to come

This is just a reminder of what’s to come

So more weak storms? Cool

Shockingly it's almost a hurricane right now pretty amazing turnaround from the mess near Florida
