The 12th named storm of the season, Tropical Storm Lisa, has formed in the central Caribbean Sea. Lisa is no threat to Florida or the United States.

As of Monday afternoon, Lisa has maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and is moving west at 14 mph. Lisa is expected to continue on a generally west northwest trajectory as it slowly gains strength in the coming days.

Lisa could even briefly reach hurricane intensity before impacting parts of Central America later this week. Lisa is expected to primarily be a rainmaker, with as much as 3-5 inches forecast for Belize, and localized higher totals possible.
