1932, 2001, and now 2022 – the only years on record that we’ve had two November hurricanes in the Atlantic simultaneously. This time around it is Hurricane Lisa and Hurricane Martin.

Martin will continue to trek in a general northeastward direction through the North Atlantic over the next few days, ending up in the vicinity of Iceland by early next week.

Lisa, on the other hand, is headed for a landfall in Belize by Wednesday evening. This is a compact storm, so it’s more susceptible to quick changes in intensity. Max sustained winds were at 80 mph as of the 10AM CDT advisory, but there is a window for some additional strengthening right up until landfall. A storm surge of 4-7 feet is likely near and just to the north of where the storm makes landfall along the coast of Belize. Isolated rainfall totals up to 10″ are possible across Belize, northern Guatemala, and parts of southern Mexico.

What is left of the system should emerge over the Bay of Campeche in the far southwestern Gulf of Mexico by late Thursday or early Friday. At that point, strong southwesterly shear should cause it to weaken into a remnant area of low pressure.

Elsewhere, we’ll be keeping an eye on a broad area of low pressure moving north across Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic this weekend. The odds of anything consequential developing are low, but the likelihood of this bringing higher rain chances next week to parts of Florida and Southeastern U.S. Atlantic coast are increasing.
