Alex now a Hurricane
At about 9.45 this evening, the NHC upgraded Tropical Storm Alex to a category one hurricane.
10:00 PM CDT Tue Jun 29
Location: 23.1°N 94.8°W
Max sustained: 75 mph
Moving: W at 9 mph
Min pressure: 973 mb
It is the first Hurricane of the 2010 season. It is also the first June Hurricane since 1995. That was Hurricane Allison which was a hurricane on June 2nd. The Atlantic Hurricane Season begins on June 1st.
The hurricane is projected to make landfall further south. At this time it is moving due west to the Mexican coast.
Texas will still get hit by the dirty side of the hurricane. The Dirty Side is commonly the westerly or northernly part of the hurricane. In the rotation, it is the portion that brings wind and water onto shore.
Winds will blow in a counter-clockwise spin into marshes of Louisiana. The oil slick may be brought onto shore.
