NEMO Issues Precautionary Notice on Predicted Tropical System

The National Emergency Management Organization has issued an early precautionary notice after ongoing computer models are predicting that a tropical system could develop within the region. According to the release, the system may develop somewhere near to Honduras/Nicaragua by the weekend or early next week. This afternoon we called the National Met Service and were told that the National Hurricane Centre has not issued any details on a system in the area and that the office will continue to monitor. The release says that this precautionary notice is to give the public as much lead time as possible in the event a tropical system develops. Belizeans are advised to increase their state of readiness for possible tropical cyclone activity. The hurricane season ends in November.
