Tropical Storm

Tropical Storm Cristina is expected to bring heavy rains to multiple zones across Honduras this week, according to the National Center for Meteorology.

Tropical Storm Cristina, with sustained winds of 75 km/h positioned 160 kilometers west of Managua, threatens Honduras's Pacific coast with intense rainfall, flash flooding, and landslides through Thursday morning, with some areas expecting up to 12 inches of rain.

Honduras's meteorological authority is monitoring two low-pressure systems over the Pacific that could develop into tropical cyclones, bringing heavy rain to the country Monday and Tuesday as warm ocean temperatures fuel storm formation.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two low-pressure areas off Central America and Mexico with 70% and 80% chances of cyclonic development within seven days; tropical storm Amanda poses no threat to the region.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center is tracking two low-pressure systems in the eastern Pacific; one near Mexico and Guatemala has a 20% chance of becoming a cyclone in seven days, while a second southwest of Baja California has a 90% probability of developing into a tropical depression by midweek, though Copeco says neither currently poses direct danger to Honduras.
