#ExtremeWeather #ClimateChangeNOW thread.
Introducing what is soon to be #HurricaneJulia, presently Potential Cyclone #PC13AL with a rare near 100% probability [per @NHC_Atlantic] of forming.
One of the, if not the, wettest storm in living memory in the Western Hemisphere.

@NHC_Atlantic At present the GFS shows #HurricaneJulia making formal landfall at 6am local time Sunday, with modest winds for a hurricane. Heavy, flood and slip causing rains however will arrive well ahead of landfall and by midday Sunday the center of the storm will cover all of Nicaragua.
Large storms of this kind are very dangerous from a flooding perspective as the rain will be persistent for a long time. This is a seven day ECMWF model rain forecast Nicaragua and Honduras it gives rough idea of how much rain may fall. I.E. a lot - continuously, everywhere.
It would be advisable to move to higher ground if you can and to get away from watercourses.
This is the current forecat NHC landing point. Quite nifty the way it passes between the two Islands. But practically speaking as #HurricaneJulia will be a lot bigger than all of Nicaragua, it is pretty irrelevant.
