By Aaron Humes: As of the 9 a.m. advisory by the U.S. National Hurricane Center, Miami, Tropical Storm Lisa has strengthened to winds of 60 miles per hour and is well on its way to becoming a hurricane later today.

Lisa is located 430 miles East of Belize City, still moving west at 14 miles per hour. Belize remains under a hurricane watch, expected to be upgraded to a hurricane warning later today.

This general motion with some decrease in forward speed is forecast during the next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of Lisa will pass south of the Cayman Islands today, move near or over the Bay Islands of Honduras early Wednesday, and approach Belize later on Wednesday.

Further strengthening is expected, and Lisa is forecast to become a hurricane overnight over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and continue to intensify on Wednesday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles from the center.
