And while it is only a Tropical Storm and not a hurricane, forecasts say there will still be some storm surge.
And this video reportedly taken from Hunting Caye in the Sapodilla Cay range this evening shows how big the swells can get.
We asked Gordon where the storm surge is going with this storm:
Ronald Gordon, Chief MET Officer
"In terms of storm surge, the official forecast is for about one to three feet storm surge. That three feet is on the upper end. That would indicate like a category one hurricane. If it's a tropical storm, it would be perhaps less than three feet, between one and less than three, but that would occur again in a very small area just north of where the center makes landfall. I don't want to pinpoint a center location and I don't want to call any specific village, because you know these things could wobble a bit and it could shift, but in a very small area just north of that center, you could expect less time surge to occur."
