Hurricane IDA was formed on Wednesday in the far southwest of the Caribbean Sea, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) north-northeast of Bluefields, Nicaragua. With wind speed of 70 miles per hour may convert into a hurricane of lower intensity but for the time National Commission of Emergencies has issued a yellow warning for the Pacific Coast, North Zone, Caribbean and Guanacaste as the Hurricane IDA is approaching the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua. The storm may enter into the Gulf of Mexico within the coming three days.

The storm which is expected to hit the inland over Nicaragua later today will weaken substantially into a tropical depression over land. The CNE expecting the areas under direct influence of the storm would be Cobano, Jicaral, Paquera in Central Pacific and the Canton de Montes de Oro in Puntarenas. Regions known as Huetar Norte: Upala, Guatuso, Los Chiles y San Carlos in the northern zone and Siquirres, Matina, Guacimo y Pococi in the Caribbean would face a potential threat whereas rest of the country will be under a green warning which means lots of rains in the country. National Weather Service said that rains could be continued till Friday. All departments meant for the disaster management are on alert to coop with any kind of emergency.

National Hurricane Center iterated that they did not think that system could pose any threat to Florida as the Hurricane IDA will make landfall in Nicaragua on early Thursday. It is the ninth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.
