In the rest of Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, eastern Guatemala, and western Nicaragua, Sara is expected to produce five to 10 inches of rain, with some areas seeing up to 15 inches. It is then anticipated to linger over portions of Central America for the next several days, and related storm surge could raise water levels there by up to three feet above the normal levels along the coast.
The tropical storm is shifting westward near 14 miles per hour, and is forecast to meander near the coast through the weekend before potentially swinging toward the northeast once it reaches the Gulf of Mexico.
Sara, which was traveling about 65 miles northeast of the east coast Nicaraguan and Honduran border, has maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour. Tropical storms typically have maximum sustained winds of between 39 and 73 miles per hour.
