Parts of Central America are bracing for approaching Tropical Storm Lisa this week as the storm is expected to bring with it hurricane-like conditions that include dangerous storm surge and heavy rainfall, according to the National Hurricane Center. Lisa received its name Monday to become the 12th named storm of this Atlantic hurricane season.
The storm currently has sustained winds of 45 mph and is moving west at 14 mph. It is located about 320 miles to the southeast of Grand Cayman, the center said. Countries expected to be hit by the storm are already preparing. A hurricane watch is now in effect for the Bay Islands, and the Belize coast from north of Puerto Barrios to south of Chetumal, according to the hurricane center. “A hurricane watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area,” the NHC said.
