Experts at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said thunderstorm activity has increased and conditions are improving for the system near the coast of Honduras to grow into the tropical storm Gamma, the 27th depression of the Atlantic hurricane season. National disaster commission (COPECO) issued a red alert for the northern region of the country due to heavy rains that have caused some evacuees and damage to the road network infrastructure. Tropical storm Gamma is expected to produce rainfall accumulations over Belize, Western Cuba and the eastern of Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. BEST QUALITY AVAILABLE REUTERS/Stringer
