Does anyone have an recent information as to the status of this potential storm?

Nope

[Langley Cruisers]

Wouldn't a weather website or the National Hurricane Center website be a better place to get this information?

The National Hurricane Center knows nothing about Alex. Did you mean Celia? Here's the link:

By the way, Celia is in the Eastern Pacific. The Atlantic is quiet at the moment.

 

Happy Cruising!

Some sources indicate a 50% chance of it becoming a TD within the next couple of days. One source even suggests that it will become a hurricane within the next week and enter the Gulf. In any event, whatever it is, it will probably go through Jamaica, Hispanolia, Cuba and who knows where else.

Why? Were you looking for some excitement, or are you worried? If you are looking for excitement, than you will be disappointed. If you are worried, than you will waste you time. Ships do not sail into storms, and unless a port is in the target zone, you won't be affected. Since storms change track at any time, you cannot predict it, so don't worry about it.

There is no Alex. There is a tropical wave that has a 40% chance to form into a tropical depression. Right now all it's doing it's spawning t-storms.

Interesting; and, it does appear that the Natl. Hurricane Center predicts a 40% chance of cyclonic developement within the next 48 hours. Another source, predicts a hurricane in the Gulf between June 28-30.
