Organizing or not?
Here are a couple of observations. The "center" is still moving north and
a burst of convection is now forming over it. Is this the beginning of something? Is this it's final strengthening chance? Who knows.

It is doing it much earlier that is promising in a since of tropical cyclone development. You can also see a cirulation under that new area of convection. I believe if this go's more east it will be going with the shear which will make it more favable. So something could very well be starting.

That's subsidence somewhat away from the outer edge of actual strong hurricanes.
Pressures rising at all the buoys near the supposed center (QS now doesn't have an LLC) doesn't bode well for the development of this thing.

But convection IS building as I type this and that's a positive in it's favor.

Still building....
The convection continues to build and build around the so called "center" of this low pressure system.

Yep...now the convection will have to persist and not be sheared off within 6 hours. Shear will be gradually increasing.

You're right, rainband. Looks very pathetic out there this morning. We've yet to see one area of storms persist for more than 4-6 hours. It's never looked worse than it does now. Just a few squalls moving ashore today and tomorrow, that's all.
Look elsewhere for Alex.

I do believe it has looked worse than now. I still don't think this will be ALex by no stretch of the imagination...but right now it has a weak circulation which is visible on the early Vis loops and on the sfc plots of the GOM. Pressures yesterday by recon were 1010 but now they are 1008-1009...plus some tropical storm force gusts are occuring well to the east of the center. The LLC is better off now than it was 24 hours ago...strictly because it is closer to the convection.
So...looks better now than then...pressures are lower and winds are a little higher...but it still will not be Alex....but a weak TD is not out of the question...there is a slight possibility of that now that the western LLC has been wiped out and the eastern LLC has become predominate.
