I've seen a report of a 38mph wind speed...but yeah, so far no TS conditions.
but if you look at where the plots are...it appears that they came through the dry and less stormy side...so once they get in the heaviest convection the winds "should" be stronger...

So I'm reading this right... does the bolded "032" mean 32 knots?

I think so, and that is at 23.21°N so it is a good 150-200 miles from the center. 32 knots = 38 mph

Well that's not too shabby.

They're at 300m (lol), so I guess that's 80% of flight level = 25 knots.

I believe the flight level winds are adjusted to show the true surface winds. For example, the 32kt at flight level would be 29kt at the surface (90% of flight-level).

To safely say Alberto has been born, I'd say we need a 40kt figure at flight level.

Even if they find a few TS winds, I don't know if they'll upgrade it with the kind of organization its showing today.
