Tropical storm conditions are possible in Jamaica on Monday.
Lisa is expected to gradually strengthen over the next few days and could become a Category 1 hurricane by Wednesday, WPTV First Alert Meteorologist Steve Villanueva said.
The storm poses a threat to the coast of Central America, especially near Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
Through Thursday evening, Lisa is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 1 inch, with local amounts to 2 inches across portions of the Cayman Islands, northern Honduras and eastern Nicaragua.
Jamaica and Guatemala could see 2 to 4 inches with localized totals of 6 inches.
Some areas of Belize could see as much as 8 inches of rain, which could lead to flash flooding.
