Tropical Storm Nadine forms near Belize

Tropical Storm Nadine has formed between Belize and Honduras and will bring heavy rain to parts of Central America.

Tropical storm warnings have been issued from Belize City, Belize, to Cancun on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, meaning tropical storms are expected through the weekend.

Nadine is pushed west over the weekend. There is a short window until Saturday where it could get a little stronger before making landfall.

The biggest threat to Nadine is heavy rains in Honduras, Belize, Guatemala and southern and eastern Mexico.

As it moves west, it will bring 3 to 8 inches of rain in these counties, with up to 15 inches in some communities.

Some areas along the Caribbean coast from the Yucatan Peninsula to Honduras could experience gusty winds this weekend.
