ATL: ALEX - Post-Tropical

[Hurricane Mike]

Rainfall will probably be a greater threat than previously expected if this slow motion continues.

Is it moving slower than forecasted?

Looks like it is over land and based on surface obs and recon I'd say it is probably closed. The question is will the nhc upgrade a system over land and without convection within 100 miles.

Never stopped them before

I mean, they upgraded PTC 3 to Claudette last year after it made landfall in Louisiana, and TS Kate existed and had a name while being a pizza slice made of clouds, so they'll probably call this TD 1 soon enough

Definitely improving in shape and with convection occuring closer to where a center may form. Its definitely lacking a well defined center, and surface pressures seem to confirm this. That could well change this evening but i wouldnt necessarily bet the farm on that. Probably a better shot to deepen once a more prounced NE motion commences.

Decent little blowup of convection near the center there. I'm thinking we should see TS Alex within the next 24 hours. Won't be anything crazy for FL but a good reminder that hurricane season is here and people need to be prepared for the months ahead.

Looks like a TD at a minimum on satellite... Yall keep an eye on this my friends in the watch areas

Well said... If the season prediction pans out...never too early to prepare

[cycloneye]

Prepare for plenty of rain in South Florida.

Pumping water out of the pool tomorrow morning.

Do any of you foresee PTC1 attaining hurricane status?....This system looks healthy on Satellite.... I appreciate any info

[beachnut]

Well what do you know, that's my home right there under the big S marked 1pm Sat

[bluespiderfl]

Mother Nature just couldn’t wait to get this season started…

Thank you all in advance for keep discussions going on these storms every year! Stay safe, stay well everyone.

NO

Classic early season uber sheared TS but will come with some gnarly bands and or storms for those E and SE of the center. Always be mindful of the radar.

Thanks TS for the reply...

This shouldn't really have much of a chance to become a hurricane, most likely a typical sheared June TS. Once it gets past FL and into the open Atlantic it might have a chance to get a little stronger but the odds of it becoming a hurricane are very low.

Very clear decoupling of the MLC and LLC on satellite. Strong wind shear hitting this one.
