The Tropics: Tropical Storm Sara has continued to drift west across the southwestern Caribbean Sea. Through early next week, the system will create heavy rain which could lead to catastrophic flooding and mudslides in Honduras. The system will approach the Yucatan Peninsula this weekend where tropical storm conditions are likely. Sara could enter the southern Gulf of Mexico next week, but should be ragged due to land interaction and then will run into a cold front. No impacts are expected for the central Gulf Coast.
