Tropical Storm "ALEX" ???

A very strong tropical wave is located halfway between the African coast and South America. Although this area is not a favored place for tropical development this early in the season, this year is a little differant. The sea surface temps are just right and the system is being given a high chance of developing into a tropcial cyclone by the National Hurricane Center during the next few days. The season, which began June 1st appears to be starting to pick up steam now. We will keep you posted. Rex
