The Government of the State of Quintana Roo, Mexico has issued a blue alert in case of hurricanes due to the presence of the Tropical Storm Emily in the Caribbean Sea, the blue alert represents low danger for the Mexican Caribbean and it is recommended to follow the official bulletins regarding this storm issued only by the government. Because of the distance of Emily from the coast of Mexico (1,569 miles ESE, 2,525 km) the storm does not represent any danger for Mexico at this time, the current forecasts indicates a WNW movement and if this trend continues Emly coudld be approaching the Florida coast on this weekend as a tropical storm.
