A tropical storm warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area.
As long as Sara stays offshore, the hurricane center said slight strengthening was possible. The storm is expected to shift northwesterly and drench Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula by late Sunday into Monday morning.
Mexican authorities have warned that the storm could cause intense rains over the resort-studded Yucatan Peninsula.

However, the United States may be spared the impact of the storm. While the hurricane center and other forecasters had previously warned Sara could potentially impact Florida, now it is believed the weather system won’t reemerge into the Gulf of Mexico after crossing the Yucatan.
“What remains of the system when it emerges into the Bay of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico is not very favorable for redevelopment,” the center said.
