Hurricane Lisa is set to make landfall in Belize on Wednesday, while Martin has formed over the North Atlantic. Statistically, a November hurricane should form in the Atlantic every two or three years. To have two at the same time is rare.
With Lisa churning ever closer to Belize on Wednesday morning, a hurricane warning was in effect for the entire coast. The National Hurricane Center warned of hurricane-force winds and “life-threatening storm surge” near Lisa’s core, expected to make landfall Wednesday afternoon into the evening.The southeast coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula was also under a hurricane warning, from Chetumal to Puerto Costa Maya.
Another storm, Martin, became the seventh Atlantic hurricane of 2022 on Wednesday morning. It’s in the North Atlantic, hundreds of miles northeast of Bermuda, and is forecast to zip northeastward over open waters for the next several days.About midway between Lisa and Martin, there is the potential for the gradual development of a third system near the Bahamas over the next several days.
A dangerous storm surge is probable for areas just north of where Lisa’s center comes ashore. In this area, Lisa’s onshore winds will push up to 4 to 7 feet of ocean water into the coastline. The zone just north of Belize City may see the maximum surge, including vacation communities on Ambergris Caye.Advertisement
“This rainfall could lead to flash flooding conditions, primarily across Belize into northern Guatemala, the far southeast portion of the Yucatán Peninsula, the eastern portion of the Mexican state of Chiapas, and the Mexican state of Tabasco,” the Hurricane Center wrote.Martin developed rather unexpectedly Tuesday out of a mature mid-latitude cyclone.
