Filed Under Archived | Leave a Comment
The Instituto Meteorológico Nacional of Costa Rica has issued an alert regarding Tropical Depression Ida. Ida has intensified to a tropical storm and as of 4pm Nov 5th was located 120 km east of Bluefields, Nicaragua. It is moving at 9 km/h toward the central part of Nicaragua.
IMN forecasts that the system will generate rainfall of varying intensity and windy conditions on the northern Caribbean coast. Caution is advised in the maritime sector due adverse conditions caused by heavy swells in the North Caribbean and Guanacaste.
Be vigilant in areas vulnerable to flooding and landslides in the North Caribbean. In the Valley Central, the activity will be moderate and intermittent.
