A high-pressure system is forecast to bring 60–70 millimeters of rain to northern Honduras this weekend through early Monday, with Copeco warning of urban flooding risk in San Pedro Sula and other departments as river levels rise.

A cold front is forecast to arrive in northern Honduras this weekend, potentially bringing heavy rain, lightning, and flooding risk to cities including San Pedro Sula, El Progreso, and Puerto Cortés, with officials monitoring its development.

Honduras's emergency agency declared a 48-hour green alert for San Pedro Sula and the capital district due to moderate rainfall, river swelling, and flood risk from atmospheric instability combining Pacific and Caribbean moisture.

Heavy rains in San Pedro Sula on October 3 left about 230 families with damaged homes and possessions, with authorities attributing the severity partly to garbage blocking storm drains at 34 critical points across the city.

San Pedro Sula and Honduras's emergency agency (Copeco) launched a coordinated prevention plan ahead of the cyclone season, with crews clearing drainage systems and debris from highland areas that officials say clog urban drains during heavy rains.
