The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane

Sergio, located several hundred miles southwest of the southern tip

it drifts northwestward near Central America. Regardless of

development, heavy rains could cause flash floods and mudslides in

mountainous areas of western Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El

Salvador and Guatemala through early next week.
