Lisa is about to make landfall on the coast of Belize according to radar imagery. This small hurricane has about 80-85 mph winds and is expected to bring tropical storm to hurricane conditions to Belize and the southern Yucatan Peninsula this afternoon through tonight as it pushes inland. In fact, the eye and eyewall of Lisa will very likely move right over Belize City late this afternoon and this evening bringing hurricane conditions to the city.

Weakening is expected as Lisa moves into Guatemala and southern Mexico on Thursday before it temporarily moves into the Bay of Campeche from Friday into this weekend. Strong wind shear from a very robust upper level trough of low pressure over the southern Plains will lead to Lisa to not strengthen at all in the Bay of Campeche and eventually it'll sink into southern Mexico where it'll dissipate by about Monday.
