Tropical Storm Lisa has strengthened as it pushed across the western Caribbean this morning.
The system, which is now just south of the Cayman Islands, was forecast to make landfall, likely as a hurricane, in Central America as early as tomorrow.
The US National Hurricane Center said Lisa had maximum sustained winds of 60 miles per hour and was moving west at 14 miles per hour.
The centre of the storm was located about 320 miles east of the Honduran island of Roatan.
A hurricane warning was in effect for Roatan and the other Bay Islands of Roatan and Guatemala declared a warning for its entire Caribbean coast.
Lisa was forecast to strengthen to a hurricane by early Wednesday when it crosses over or near the Bay Islands and approach Belize later in the day.
