MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...80 MPH...130 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 275 DEGREES AT 14 MPH...22 KM/H

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 PM CDT (1800 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lisa was located
near latitude 17.3 North, longitude 87.7 West. Lisa is moving
toward the west near 14 mph (22 km/h). This general motion with a gradual turn toward the west-northwest and some decrease in forward speed is forecast during the next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of Lisa will make landfall in Belize later this
afternoon, and then cross northern Guatemala and move into
southeastern Mexico by Thursday.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is still possible before landfall.
Rapid weakening will occur after the center of Lisa moves inland.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70
miles (110 km). (San Pedro is currently within 80 km of the eye of the storm)

STORM SURGE: A storm surge will likely raise water levels by as
much as 4 to 7 feet above normal tide levels near and to the north
of where the center of Lisa crosses the coast of Belize and
extreme southeastern portions of the Yucatan Peninsula. Elsewhere, a storm surge of 1 to 3 feet is possible within the Tropical Storm Warning area in eastern Yucatan and up to 1 foot for the Bay Islands of Honduras. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and damaging waves.

WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected along the coast of Belize
and the southeastern Yucatan peninsula later this afternoon.
Tropical storm conditions are expected during the next few hours
over portions of the Bay Islands and along the northern coast
of Honduras within the Tropical Storm Warning area, and in portions of Guatemala and Yucatan later this afternoon.

RAINFALL: Lisa is expected to produce rainfall amounts of:

4 to 6 inches with local amounts to 10 inches across Belize,
northern Guatemala, the southern portion of the Mexican state of
Quintana Roo. southern Campeche, Tabasco, northern Chiapas, and far eastern Veracruz.
