Hurricane Rina

We now have a hurricane in the Atlantic Basin! Hurricane Rina recently achieved this status, with 75 mph maximum sustained winds. Rina is located in the southern Caribbean Sea off the coast of Belize and is moving WNW at 3 mph. Although no watches or warnings are in-effect, Rina will likely strengthen over the next couple of days and could eventually impact Belize and/or the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. If Rina emerges into the Gulf of Mexico, it could eventually impact the Gulf Coast of the U.S. There is still a lot of uncertainty in the movement of this storm, so stay-tuned.
