NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Alex, moving slowly north-northwest with no change in wind speed, was still expected to strengthen into the first hurricane of the Atlantic season on Tuesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in latest advisory on Monday.
The NHC forecast Alex, located in the southwest Gulf of Mexico about 520 miles southeast of Brownsville, Texas, would make landfall near the Texas-Mexico border early Thursday.
Most weather models now project the storm will hit south of the border, but two of the models still show the system making landfall on the South Texas coast.
