Tropical Storm Julia Expected To Become A Hurricane Today; Belize Under Threat of Heavy Rainfall and Possible Flooding

Posted: Saturday, October 8, 2022. 1:07 pm CST.

By Aaron Humes: Belize remains out of the cone of direct impact from Tropical Storm Julia, but the National Meteorological Service warns we will still be under threat of heavy rainfall and possible flooding.

At noon Julia was located 80 miles east of Isla de San Andres, Colombia, moving west at 18 miles per hour with maximum sustained winds of 65 miles per hour.

Landfall is expected later tonight or early on Sunday and the forecast track keeps the system well south of Belize and crossing Central America through Nicaragua. However, Belizeans are advised to stay tuned to reports from the Met as the system is expected to produce heavy rainfall and possible flooding, with two to four inches expected later today and Sunday and more over certain areas entering Monday.

A flood warning and small craft caution, likely upgraded to full warning is in effect. The next advisory is set for 3 p.m. this afternoon.
