What's going on: Tropical Storm Alex could hamper oil spill cleanup

NOAA_CLOUDS_NY2.JPGView full sizeThis NOAA satellite image taken today at 1:45 a.m. shows a mass of clouds in the western Caribbean Sea associated with Tropical Depression One, now Tropical Storm Alex. The tropical system is expected to strengthen as it moves toward the Yucatan Peninsula. The forecast track takes the storm into the southern Gulf of Mexico Sunday night.

"Let the anxiety begin.

"The oil-drenched Gulf Coast must face a new foe: the weather.

"Tropical Storm Alex formed in the western Caribbean Saturday, raising fears that it could become a hurricane as the region continues to fight the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf.

Forecasters believe Alex is aimed at Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, but remain wary the storm could change direction at any time."
