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.

Tropical Storm Sara formed this afternoon and threatens to bring "life-threatening and potentially catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides" to Honduras throughout the weekend, according to the latest update from the National Hurricane Center. A turn toward Florida is still possible, forecasters said.

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.

South Floridians should expect comfortable weather this weekend, but Tropical Storm Sara will change that next week.

Tropical Storm Sara now threatens to wreak havoc over Central America with days of heavy rain, flooding and mudslides. Where is it going next?

Tropical Storm Sara is forecast to slog its way into Central America this weekend, but lose organization before its remnants make their way into the Gulf of Mexico and get sucked back to the east

Tropical Storm Sara isn’t expected to survive its journey across Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, but remnant moisture is expected to bring rain and thunderstorms to the U.S. Gulf Coast and Florida this week.
