1st named storm of the 2010 Atlantic basin TS season....these tracks change sometimes but it looks like its going to cross the Yucatan and turn back into Mexico...possibly as a hurricane..

Rain is desperately needed in central Virginia as well.

I wish news organizations would publish things like below. It i almost like they are hoping it will turn toward the oil spill. Give them more sensationalism.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A tropical storm slamming into parts of Mexico isn't taking aim at the massive Gulf oil spill — for now — though any system can quickly change course and send cleanup efforts grinding to a halt.

yeah....and they don't get to send reporters down to stand around knee deep in the storm surge with inside out umberellas...

i was just agreeing that it is hot and dry where i'm at....i certainly don't wish for any rain from a tropical storm because that would mean it would have to come ashore on somebody's coast and Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida have had enough of that in the last few years...

What prompted that was we went thru 3 hurricanes about 4 or 5 years ago ................ IN ONE MONTH!

living in a state that was impacted by Katrina, Rita, Gustav and Ike...I understand.

Alex is now a cat1 hurricane...it will probably intensify a little more before it hits Mexico...but its a really good thing it won't spend much more time over water....because its huge..
