The National Hurricane Center is tracking Tropical Storm Sara, but it appears Texas is not in its direct path. See spaghetti models and likely path.

Tropical Storm Sara made landfall in Honduras, bringing catastrophic conditions to parts of Central America, but it might not survive its trek over the Yucatán Peninsula, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical Storm Sara may impact Central America and Mexico this weekend before moving into the Gulf of Mexico next week. Here's the latest track.

Torrential downpours from Sara are expected to pound the northern portions of Honduras, causing catastrophic flooding and mudslides through early next week. Forecasters warned that heavy rainfall will also bring "life-threatening" flash flooding to Belize, El Salvador, eastern Guatemala, western Nicaragua and Quintana Roo in Mexico.

Sara is no longer expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico. As of 6:15 a.m. CST Friday, the center of Tropical Storm Sara was located about 40 miles southeast of Isla Guanaja, Honduras, and was moving to the west at 9 mph.

A newly formed depression in the Caribbean could enter the Gulf of Mexico as Tropical Sara next week, potentially reducing the chances it could pose a threat to Florida later in the week.

The 18th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane was likely to flood parts of Central America and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula over the coming days.

Storms so late in the season are rare. But Sara follows Hurricane Rafael, which pounded through the Caribbean last week and later fell apart in the Gulf of Mexico. Sara is the 18th named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.

The National Hurricane Center forecasts Tropical Storm Sara could get into the Gulf of Mexico after swamping Central America and crossing over Mexico.

The National Hurricane Center has designated an area of low pressure in the Caribbean as “Potential Tropical Cyclone Nineteen,” and forecasts it will strengthen into a tropical storm within the next 24 hours.
