By BBN Staff: As of this morning, the center of tropical storm Nate was located just north of Honduras.

Tonight, Nate is expected to approach Cancun and Cozumel. A hurricane watch and a tropical storm warning is in effect.

Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is also making preparations as Nate passes.

It is expected that Nate will make landfall late Saturday night or early Sunday as a hurricane or tropical storm along the northern Gulf Coast.

Nate will throw heavy rains along its path and surrounding areas.

Forecasters are saying that torrential rains will trigger flash floods and mudslides in Central America over the next few days.
