As of the 4 p.m. advisory, Sara was a weakening tropical depression straddling the area between Mexico and Guatemala, according to the National Hurricane Center. The system is expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico in the next day but will dissipate at that point.

When is 2024 Atlantic hurricane season? June 1 to Nov. 30, with the busiest months between August and October.

After producing feet of rain over countries in Central America, moisture associated with the remnants of Sara are expected to stream northward, increasing the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms mid-week along the Gulf Coast. The moisture is forecast to combine with a significant frontal boundary pushing through the country.
