Hurricane warning issued for portions of Nicaragua as Tropical Storm Julia approaches

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: The Nicaraguan Government has issued a hurricane warning as Tropical Storm Julia approaches.

On the forecast track, the center of Julia is expected to pass near or over San Andres and Providencia Islands Saturday evening and then reach the coast of Nicaragua Sunday morning. 

Julia or its remnants will then turn west-northwestward over Central America by Monday, the NHC noted.

Heavy rains are expected over Central America through the weekend.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.

Tropical Storm Julia could strengthen into a hurricane when it passes near or over San Andres and Providencia Islands and reaches the coast of Nicaragua.

 Quick weakening is anticipated after Julia moves inland on Sunday, and it is likely to become a remnant low or dissipate by Monday.

Heavy rainfall may cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides throughout this weekend.
