Tropical Storm Paula is expected to strengthen into a hurricane Tuesday, bringing flooding to parts of coastal Mexico and Honduras.
As of 11 p.m. ET Monday, Paula was about 90 miles (140 kilometers) east-northeast of Isla Guanaja, Honduras, and about 295 miles (475 kilometers) south-southeast of Cozumel, Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida. The storm packed maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph) and was headed northwest at 10 mph (17 kph).
A projection map shows Paula swiping past the coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday. The storm is forecast to swing east toward Cuba by the end of this week.
A hurricane warning is in effect along the coast of Mexico from Punta Gruesa north to Cabo Catoche. The warning area includes Cozumel, Mexico.
Paula could dump 3 to 6 inches of rain over eastern Honduras, northern Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula.
"Isolated maximum amounts of 10 inches are possible in areas of mountainous terrain in Honduras, where these rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides," the hurricane center said.
