Image courtesy of the National Hurricane Center.NHC has been following what is known as Tropical Storm Alex, however as it moves over the warm gulf waters, it will strengthen to a hurricane before making landfall on the eastern coast of Mexico.
Alex is the first storm of the season, one in which the Hurricane Center is expecting to be busier than average with 14 to 23 named storms, 8 to 14 of which becoming hurricanes and 3 to 7 which could become major, packing winds of 111 mph or more.
This storm should gain enough strength to become a hurricane (74 mph or more) by late Tuesday night. I will keep an eye on the first storm of the season and any others that pop up!
