NEMO Special Advisory #1
1. The latest update is, the center of Tropical Storm Alex was estimated to be near latitude 17.5 N and longitude 87.2 W. This position is about 70 miles east of Belize. Alex is moving west northwest at 9 mph and is expected to continue on that track for the next 24 hours. Maximum sustained winds are now 45 mph with further strengthening expected. However, strengthening will be limited due to the storm’s proximity to land.
What is expected to happen Tropical Storm force winds of 50 to 60 miles will start affecting the northern and central cayes at about 2:00 pm local time this afternoon, and
Storm surge of 3 to 5 feet is expected along the northern coast and cayes. Sea conditions will become very rough.
