Emailed NHC too
I too emailed the NHC to get their input. It is absolutely fascinating to see this. Hopefully, folks along that part of South America will have time to prepare for what ever comes.

The Hurricane
is in the South Atlantic where it is early Fall-equivalent to late September in the North Atlantic.

What the heck?!?!?!?!?!? My heart skipped a beat when I saw this feature. This is probably one of the most amazing tropical events of my life. I wonder if it would be on the roster for the Atlantic, or, more, if they will name it. I just saw this on the Weather Channel, it is on NRL Monterry. What if they name it? What would it be called? 1S? 1L? ALEX???

The hurricane will remain as a NONAME ... this is not in the North Atlantic and thusly, Alex will NOT be used to identify an unprecedented South Atlantic Hurricane (in our modern era) ... it is not in the NHC's area of responsibility and frankly, no hurricane agency's responsibility.
This is an incredible event that has unfolded right before us ... with its origins beginning as a cold-core system which became a warm-core system and the RIGHT conditions (strong upper high building in the region) has allowed for this hurricane to blossom ...

An odditity for sure but for once I can agree with Derecho that this may not be due to anything more than a freak weather event that has taken place in the past with little awareness.
Has anyone checked the SST's along the Brazilian coast? If it is near 80 then this storm may just strengthen as the outflow and windshear appears to be favorable.
Why do some feel that it is the US taxpayer's responsibility to foot the bill, forecast and warn a country that should have it's own weather services?

Yes. And the large upper high that developed in the wake of the ULL (which became our first South Atlantic Hurricane) came from the very warm SST anomalies off the Central South American Coast ... as much as 2.90ºC ABV NORMAL...

Funny, you mentioned that cause it corresponds to the large upper ridge well to the Southeast of Iceland/Greenland ...
