90Q (GOES12 satellite image) is located about 325 miles east of Puerto Alegre (near 30S / 45.8 W), has maximum sustained winds near 46 mph (40 knots) and continues moving in a general easterly direction away from the Brazilian coast.
The first tropical cyclone ever seen in recorded history in the South Atlantic occurred in March, 2004 and was called Catarina or 1-T Alfa.
TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) satellite data showed thunderstorm tops near the center of the storm reaching to heights above 12.5 km.
