Lisa is expected to continue moving west over the next day or so, which will bring the center of the storm across southeastern Mexico. By Friday, Lisa is expected to turn northwest and slow down, moving the storm over the Bay of Campeche. However, it is not expected to restrengthen after emerging back over water.

Lisa poses no threat to the U.S., including Florida.
