Tropical Storm Alex, now weakened to a tropical depression again as it crosses over the Yucatan Peninsula, should have no problem restrengthening and becoming this year’s first Hurricane as it encounters low wind shear the warm waters of the Gulf. The good news is that it will stay clear of the oil spill and miss the US. The bad news is it will likely make landfall as a Category 1 hurricane somewhere in Eastern Mexico.
I made a post the other day on SURFBANG that is loaded with facts about how any tropical weather system will interact with the oil spill in the Gulf. You can check it out and read the facts here.
