Hurricane Nate is heading towards the Gulf of Mexico and will graze Cancun, on the east coast Mexico, before it bombards the US.
The Tropical Storm is expected to be upgraded to a category one Hurricane as it heads through the Gulf’s warm sea waters.
Cancun is bracing for the strong wind and rain conditions after Nate has already been blamed for the deaths of up to 22 people in Central America.
Live webcam footage from Isla Mujeres, 8 miles off the coast of Cancun, shows stormy seas and blustery wind conditions.
From a beach hotel on the island, trees can be seen being bashed by the winds as Nate approaches.

Louisiana and Florida have both issued a state of emergency after Nate was blamed for more than 20 deaths in Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
Senior Meteorologist at ABC, Rob Marciano, claimed the storm would be moving quicker than Hurricane’s Maria, Irma, Jose and Harvey.
Looking at the latest spaghetti models he warned the US was likely to take a direct hit from Nate.
He said: “We have got hurricane watch out posted for Cancun, so as it goes over Yucatan tomorrow night and into the Gulf of Mexico, it will intensify as it does.
“How strong we’re not quite sure because it will be moving so quickly, but it will be at least a category one into around New Orleans, or the central Gulf Coast, early Sunday morning.
“There are the early spaghetti model tracks, more confidence there, and look at the warm waters, mid 80’s, as you know is fuel for Hurricanes.”
The NOAA’s National Hurricane Center (NHC) has warned that the storm is likely to develop into a hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico after passing Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula late on Friday.
The NOAA said in its 2am update: “On the forecast track, the centre of Nate will move over the Gulf of Honduras and across the northwestern Caribbean Sea today, and reach the eastern coast of the Yucatan peninsula Friday evening.
“Nate will then move into the southern Gulf of Mexico Friday night and approach the northern Gulf coast Saturday evening.
“Data from the reconnaissance plane and a NOAA buoy indicate that the maximum sustained winds have increased to near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and Nate is expected to become a hurricane by the time it reaches the central Gulf of Mexico.”
