Grace Will Blow Past Belize

Belize is not under hurricane watch tonight.

That's despite the presence of Grace, a tropical storm currently raging across the Caribbean sea.

The storm which is currently about 50 miles west of Jamaica and about 185 miles East southeast of Grand Cayman and is moving just north of due west with sustained maximum winds of 50mph.

At this rate, it should make landfall between Playa Del Carmen and Tulum, Mexico late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning as a category 1 hurricane.

That's north of Belize so forecasts say we will be on the calmer side of the system.

At the time of tonight's advisory, neither a Tropical storm watch nor warning is required for Belize. But the MET service will continue to watch the system closely.
