 On September 29 , shortly after Keith formed , a hurricane watch was issued for the Yucatán peninsula from Chetumal to Cabo Catoche in Quintana Roo . The next day as Keith was nearing hurricane intensity , the watch was upgraded to a warning , and a tropical storm warning and hurricane watch was issued for the Belize coastline from Belize City to the Mexican border . At that time , the trajectory was expected to go more to the northwest , and when the storm turned to a slow westward drift , hurricane warnings were issued for the Belize coast with only about 24 hours of lead time for the offshore islands . The warnings for the Yucatán peninsula were dropped as Keith weakened .
