Still Tropical Storm Alex... Halfway Across Mexico 24 Hours After Landfall

Pretty amazing if you ask me. I've seen a lot of things, but rarely seen anything like this... especially in June. Atypical for climo... not some weak, wannabe June storm... on it's way to the Pacific I think. It should be downgraded soon, but as of 5pm it is still a Tropical Storm Alex.

At least 11 people have died in Mexico, this name will be retired after this year.

When someone says Alex, we will think that wild June storm of 2010.

Good article here:

Some great pics, one showing the depth of the bands of Alex. First off and last off, he is being fed by long feeder bands that ... yah.... feed the storm with tropical juice.

So....

Be well and take care and sweet tropical dreams... models are spinning things up again so enjoy some peace and quiet before Bonnie forms and we are tracking again.
