With recon reporting a max flight level wind of 41 kts and surface winds of 35 knots we have Alex, our first named system of the year... FINALLY
Interesting to note that the system has remained stationary most of the day, and is slowly intensifying. Earlier the NHC said the upper level winds would become a little more favourable as they switch from northeast to southwest in around 18 - 24 hours. If Alex has been born in the current conditions perhaps he might be a moderate storm after all. Will be interesting to see what the 2100z intensity forecast package is!

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
