DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 PM EDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Lisa was
located near latitude 15.5 North, longitude 78.9 West. Lisa is
moving toward the west near 14 mph (22 km/h), and a westward to
west-northwestward motion is expected over the next few days. On
the forecast track, the center will pass south of Jamaica tonight,
south of the Cayman Islands on Tuesday, then move near or over the 
Bay Islands of Honduras early on Wednesday and approach Belize 
later on Wednesday.
 
Maximum sustained winds remain near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts. Slow strengthening is expected, and Lisa is forecast to 
become a hurricane on Wednesday over the northwestern Caribbean Sea.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km)
east of the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Hurricane conditions are possible in the Bay Islands of
Honduras beginning early Wednesday and are possible along the coast
of Belize Wednesday afternoon. Tropical storm conditions are
possible on Jamaica tonight. Tropical storm conditions are possible
on the coast of Honduras Tuesday night through Wednesday. Tropical 
storm conditions are possible in the Tropical Storm Watch area in 
Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala Wednesday afternoon.
 
RAINFALL: Through Thursday evening, Lisa is expected to produce
rainfall amounts of:
 
* 3 to 5 inches with local amounts to 8 inches across portions
of Belize and the Bay Islands of Honduras.
* 2 to 4 inches with local amounts to 6 inches across portions
of Northern Honduras, Jamaica, Guatemala and the eastern Yucatan
peninsula.
* 1 inch with local amounts to 2 inches across portions of the
Cayman Islands, eastern Nicaragua.
 
This rainfall could produce flash floods from northern Honduras
northward to the eastern Yucatan Peninsula.
 
STORM SURGE:  A storm surge could raise water levels by as much as 3
to 5 feet above normal tide levels along the immediate coast of
Belize in areas of onshore winds and 1 to 3 feet for the Bay Islands
of Honduras. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large
and damaging waves.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Lisa are expected to affect Jamaica and
the Cayman Islands during the next day or so, and will begin to
affect Central America on Tuesday. These swells could cause life-
threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office.
