It looks like this is headed towards the Texas coast, but that can change. Tropical Storm warnings are currently in place for Cancun and areas around it. Here are the wind forcasts:

According to the graph, Tropical Storm Alex will form and strengthen until it reaches the Yucatan Peninsula. As it passes through, it will become weaker. However it should restrengthen as it enters the Gulf of Mexico. As for this storm and the Oil Spill, there really isn’t too much info, but we will keep you updated.
Thanks to the NHC for all of the information.
