Hurricane Alex

Texas is spared a direct hit from Hurricane Alex as it came ashore in Northeast Mexico. The rain bands are now moving into Texas. According to the weather reports here, we are expected to see isolated, scattered thunderstorms from Thursday through Sunday. The main threat as the hurricane begins to fall apart over land, is tornadoes which could last a day or two according to hurricane center meterologist Chris Landsea.

Hurricane Alex has now been downgraded to a Category 2 Tropical Storm upon landfall with sustained winds of 105 mph in Mexico and 66 mph winds in near Brownsville,TX.
