Plus a ton of 40-41 kt reports.


Damn Brent, Never have seen something look like this have TS winds of any sort..


What about Arlene from last year? Time makes people forget. Also, Grace, 2003.


Arlene looked like that when she was nearly a hurricane! (although I do think the 60 kt peak was overdone)

The storm is actually starting to look sexy on visible loop.

the big blowup of thunderstorms is getting dangerously close to that center, closest they have been in a while - lets hope they stay away from it...they are trying to wrap around.

boca i dont think so the LLC is west off that blow up near the Ucatan pennisula void of any convection.

Until convection begins to build over the LLC its intensification will be limited.u can see here on this visible the LLC is void of deep thunderstorm activity.

Last year I loved the dry air that caused storms to weaken, but this year I DON'T! Central Florida needs this rain badly. I hope this thing will continue to organize and get convection over its LLC.

Well IMHO the system has made progres today because looking at the visibles, the LLC is much more defined - but exposed. The convection is actually starting to fire some near it but the shear and dry air continue to keep it from rapidly deepening....

We should have Alberto by tonight but a 50-60mph TS is about all I expect (maximum) when it makes landfall - maybe even a 40-50mph weak TS.

Scorpion I agree - plenty of tropical rains here in South Florida - why do so many people say it is parched? I think because most of the tropical rains are along the coastal areas...not inland this Spring as the steering patterns have been pushing the storms towards the coast (not inland)

You guys in Boca and Jupiter should check locations. HurricaneHunter914 is in Sanford FL which, along with the rest of central and northern FL, have been having SERIOUS fire problems all spring. Last I heard, we were still 10 inches shy of normal rainfall, and falling. As I drove home from Ormond Beach today, I saw another large smoke plume to the south and east.

You all just give that thing a good shove to the north, we'll take it (but it needs to leave its winds out over the water or something). :D

I must be missing something cause I dont see it... I just dont see it. Turn on the hurricane plots in this satellite loop and you will see how far the storms are from the center. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t1/loop-avn.html It appears to be barely clinging to life to me.

I can't believe I am saying this but it looks like there has been a wobble to the NW in the past hour. Are you guys seeing this on the visible - the best W wobble I have seen so far....could the heights in the Bahamas now be kicking in?

Its been ugly since its inception... and its still pretty ugly.... heck its been ugly all day... then again its the only game in town and being the first system of the year, its getting a lot of early season hype... like being your first born, it might be ugly but you can't stop talking about it... still looks like another mid level circulation to the SSW of the LLC... its just a mess... have to wonder if its ever going to get its act together... but ya never know with these things... so we watch ...

I have seen tropical storms with winds over 50mph have exposed centers before. I think Alberto has formed.
