Tropical Storm Nadine has formed in the northwestern Caribbean and is nearing landfall in Belize. Locally heavy rainfall is likely across portions of Central America and southern Mexico through the weekend. The system does not pose a threat to the United States. You can get the complete, local Storm Station forecast, here. 

As of Saturday morning, Nadine has a well-defined low-level circulation. Max sustained winds were at 45mph, with movement west at 9mph. Satellite data and radar images from Belize indicate that Nadine's structure is broad but is gradually becoming better organized. Winds to tropical storm force have been measured along the coast as far north as Cancun. Nadine should begin moving faster toward the west through the day while being steered by a mid-level ridge over the Gulf of Mexico. On this track, Nadine's center should make landfall along the Belize coast sometime late morning or midday and then continue westward across northern Guatemala and southeastern Mexico late this afternoon into tonight. Some slight strengthening is possible this morning before Nadine reaches the coast due to low atmospheric wind shear and ocean temperatures around 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Weakening is forecast after Nadine moves inland, and the storm should fall below tropical storm strength later this afternoon. Nadine is likely to dissipate over southeastern Mexico by early Sunday.
