In the suddenly active tropics, Lisa was on the verge of becoming a hurricane Wednesday morning.  At 5 am, Lisa was located about 150 miles east of Belize City, Belize.  Maximum sustained winds were 70 miles per hour, and Lisa was moving west at 15 miles per hour.  Lisa is forecast to bring up to 6 inches of rain to portions of Central America and the Yucatan, and flash floods and mudslides are possible.

Elsewhere, the low in the central Atlantic is now Tropical Storm Martin.  At 5 am, Martin’s maximum sustained winds were 65 miles per hour, and the system was moving east-northeast at 15 miles per hour.  Martin is expected to remain in the open Atlantic.
