Tropical Storm Alex neared hurricane strength as it aimed toward northeast Mexico, with 90 mph winds and up to 20 inches of rain in isolated areas. The storm was about 290 miles southeast of Brownsville moving northwest, threatening the Rio Grande delta and prompting cross border preparations in Brownsville and Matamoros. Brownsville officials weighed emergency actions given budget pressures while Matamoros faced rapid district growth and vulnerable colonia housing. Offshore oil work paused as BP and Coast Guard ordered ships back to shore due to dangerous seas reaching 12 feet.
