Florida could be in the crosshairs of future Tropical Storm Sara
The system expected to become Tropical Storm Sara will bring extreme rainfall to Central America, but it could also be a danger to Florida.
Tropical Storm Sara moved westward and is expected to spend the weekend near or over parts of Central America, according to the latest update from the National Hurricane Center, bringing “life-threatening and potentially catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides” to Honduras.
While it may emerge into the Gulf of Mexico next week as a tropical depression and potentially strengthen again, the NHC predicts it will dissipate. Florida may still see heavy rain, thunderstorms and coastal flooding by the middle of next week.
