Well some have been saying that the pressure is already lower then normal around that area so that could be contributing to the low pressure.

I wonder if they will put out an intermediate advisory upgrading Alex back to Tropical Storm status?

not suspect anymore.....991 is crazy low for a TD...winds will catch up quick and this will be a TS at 11pm......
ED- I abandoned the EURO a few posts back....Stacy gave a good explanation why it was out to lunch...

Hey everyone
So are the models pretty much set for this storm to be south of us? Any chance ( good chance?) that it could still come and make landfall up here?

need more model runs and the upper air flights will help...what we do know is that ULL digging over LA will weaken the high as well as the trof which is still digging...

Also keep an eye on the TUTT near the Bahamas. They can aid the ventilation process in the right conditions...

Paul,
I think you are confusing what AFM said and attributing it to Stacy. Stewart didn't expand on why the Euro would be wrong in the 4am disco.

AFM posted that from a call with Stewart....he expands on why the EURO has been so MX biased...its not from a Disco...

This quote?
As far as the Euro is concerned...one only has to read my posts to understand that I am as big a EURO pimp as the next guy...but what none of us EURO pimps want to seem to talk about is this FACT: The EURO runs have consistently moved the 500 mb feature inland but maintained a sfc feature near the coast. The 12Z run moves the 500Mb low inland south of BRO but keeps the sfc low right at the coast for 4 days...
And that just aint right. Something is NOT right with what it is seeing.
