Hurricane Nate is heading towards the Gulf of Mexico before charging towards the US.
The Tropical Storm will shower Cancun, on the east coast Mexico, before it bombards the US.
Cancun is bracing for the strong wind and rain conditions after Nate has already been blamed for the deaths of up to 25 people in Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
Live webcam footage from Cancun shows stormy seas, rain and blustery wind conditions as the storm nears.
The Tropical Storm is expected to be upgraded to a category one Hurricane as it heads through the Gulf’s warm sea waters.

New Orleans, Louisiana and Florida have all issued a state of emergency as latest track models show the storm heading straight into the US.
Senior Meteorologist at ABC, Rob Marciano, claimed the storm would be moving quicker than Hurricane’s Maria, Irma, Jose and Harvey.
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.”
There are also fears Nate could cause catastrophic levels of flooring in the US as it covers the Gulf this weekend.
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 latest update from the NOAA said: “Heavy rainfall is the main threat from Nate in portions of Central America, with life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides possible in portions of Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, and Belize through tonight.
“There is a possibility that Nate could be near hurricane intensity when it approaches the Yucatan Peninsula later today bringing direct impacts from wind, storm surge, and heavy rainfall.
“Nate is forecast to reach the northern Gulf Coast late Saturday or Sunday morning as a hurricane, and the threat of direct impacts from wind, storm surge, and heavy rainfall is increasing from Louisiana through the western Florida Panhandle.”
