Tropical Update: Alex Churns In Gulf
June 29, 2010
Tropical Storm Alex entered the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday, and it is expected to reach hurricane strength by Tuesday night.
Alex made landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico Saturday night before crossing into the Gulf. The storm weakened to a tropical depression over land, but quickly reached tropical storm level over the warm Gulf Waters.
The current forecast says Alex will not be a threat to South Alabama or Northwest Florida, but it remains unclear what impact, if any, Alex will have on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill cleanup effort in the Gulf of Mexico.
