In the tropics, what was Potential Tropical Cyclone # 15 is now Tropical Storm Lisa.  At 5 am, Lisa was about 520 miles east of Belize City, Belize.  Maximum sustained winds were 45 miles per hour, and Lisa was moving west at 14 miles per hour.  Watches and warnings are in effect for much of coastal Central America from the southeastern Yucatan to the border of Honduras and Nicaragua.  Lisa is expected to become a hurricane before reaching the Central American coast on Wednesday.  Elsewhere, a low several hundred miles northeast of Bermuda, while it is interacting with a front, has a high chance of becoming a subtropical depression — at least briefly.  But this one will remain in the open Atlantic.
