The first weather system of the season, (named Alex) is threatening the oil spill region in the Gulf of Mexico, and intications are, that it could be heading north, and turn directly toward the blown oil rig.
It’s moving slowly and at this point is approaching the Yucatan Peninsula; it’s not expected to develop into a full-blown hurricane. Crossing land often takes the strength out of a storm, but its’ 35 mph-sustained winds are considered “gale force winds” and will surely drive boats away from the clean-up areas.
