On Thursday at 10 am, the National Hurricane Center issued an advisory stating that the tropical depression has become a tropical depression with sustained winds of 35 mph after intensifying from a potential tropical cyclone. The tropical depression is 225 miles east-southeast of Isla Guanaja Honduras and 65 miles northeast of Cabo Gracias A Dios On Nic hon Border, with maximum sustained wind of 35 mph. It’s moving at 14 mph to the west.

"The system is expected to meander near the northern coast of Honduras late Friday and through the weekend." forecasters explained. "Some strengthening is forecast and the system is forecast to become a tropical storm later today."

YESTERDAY (Wednesday):

Yesterday (Wednesday) at 4 pm, the National Hurricane Center published the first advisory for a potential tropical cyclone. Forecasters alert: a hurricane watch and a tropical storm watch in effect for portions Honduras and Nicaragua.

CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:

The government of Honduras has discontinued the Hurricane Watch for Honduras and the Bay Islands.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for:

- The northern coast of Honduras form Punta Sal eastward to the Honduras/Nicaragua Border

- The Bay Islands of Honduras

A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for:

- The northeastern coast of Nicaragua from Puerto Cabezas northward to the Honduras/Nicaragua Border

A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area.

A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours.

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND:

RAINFALL: Through early next week, rainfall amounts of 10 to 20 inches with isolated storm totals around 30 inches area expected over northern Honduras. This rainfall will lead to widespread areas of life-threatening and potentially catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides, especially along and near the Sierra La Esperanza. Elsewhere across the rest of Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, eastern Guatemala, and western Nicaragua, Tropical Depression Nineteen is expected to produce 5 to 10 inches of rain with localized totals around 15 inches through early next week. This will result in areas of flash flooding, perhaps significant, along with the potential of mudslides. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with Tropical Depression Nineteen, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/refresh/graphics_at4+shtml/205755.shtml? Rainqpf#contents

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area and possible in the watch area beginning later today.

STORM SURGE: Storm surge could raise water levels by as much as 1 to 3 feet above normal tide levels along the immediate coast in areas of onshore winds along the northern coast of Honduras. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.
