The NHC said the storm is currently formed as a storm. According to reports, Alex is said to be moving west-northwest and could become a hurricane in the next 48 hours. If it does become a hurricane, Mexico and Texas will be affected, without going through the spill site.
Hurricane Alex is shifting away from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, but the storm's outer winds could disrupt oil spill containment and cleanup efforts.
Hurricane Alex can not become a real hurricane until Tuesday. But for now, Tropical Storm Alex, the first named storm of the hurricane season of 2010, seems to be away from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, 2010. Fear is that the storm is then to countries in the oil by the oil slick soaked head.
