Tropical Storm Lisa will become a hurricane overnight, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast on Tuesday, as the churning weather system is likely to provoke “life-threatening” storm surges in Belize, Honduras and parts of Mexico.

Belize’s coastline, known for its corral reefs, and Mexico’s Caribbean-facing Yucatan peninsula are both home to major tourist destinations.

Lisa’s maximum sustained winds reached 105 kph on Tuesday afternoon, while it moved westward at a speed of 24 kph, according to the NHC.A hurricane warning was in effect for all of Belize’s coast and Guatemala’s northern Atlantic coast, where the NHC warned residents to rush preparations to “protect life and property.”
