Good morning! Alex continues its rapid weakening over the mountainous terrain of central Mexico; it is now a 50 mph tropical storm but still a tremendous rainmaker with significant flooding and mudslides likely across Mexico. By tonight, Alex will be a tropical depression.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic, I'm watching a few waves evenly spread out around 10 degrees North latitude; one near 60 West (off the coast of South America), another near 40 West in the central Atlantic and another just coming off the west coast of Africa. A few of our models hint at development in the western Caribbean later this weekend or early next week, and that will be worth watching. We'll also be monitoring the southeast coast for some "home grown" development along the decaying front we've been telling you about.
