Actually, Luis (cycloneye) locks the original thread when the system is upgraded to a depression, tropical storm, hurricane, and so on.

By the way, the newly-formed Aletta is looking much better now than earlier yesterday.

Actually, it is looking much better than yesterday and is organizing, shear is decreasing, and there are banding features and convection over the center.

Jan is right but since it is the first real deal I figured ok..besides I was already in the process.. It's still lopsided and the low level cloud pattern isn't to impressive but it does have deep convection and looks to be a wet event at least for Mexico.
