Tropical Storm Nadine has formed in the western Caribbean and is moving westward toward the Yucatan Peninsula. Nadine will make landfall in Belize on Saturday, bringing gusty winds and heavy rain to Central America, the Yucatan Peninsula and southern Mexico. 

A tropical storm warning was issued on Saturday, according to the National Hurricane Center. 

As Nadine approaches the coast of Belize, heavy rain will continue across Honduras to the Yucatan Peninsula and expand westward into southern Mexico through the weekend. This heavy rain can lead to flash flooding and travel delays, especially near where the storm makes landfall and in the mountains of Oaxaca into Veracruz. 

Hurricane Helene rammed into the region less than two weeks before Hurricane Milton arrived.

The Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1 and finishes Nov. 30, with most activity occurring between mid-August and mid-October. Hurricane activity tends to peak in mid-September, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
