Tropical Storm Sara is expected in the Caribbean soon and will deliver “life-threatening” impacts to parts of Central America as it begins a journey that could once again bring a tropical threat into the Gulf of Mexico.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Tropical Storm Sara formed near Honduras on Thursday afternoon, according to the National Hurricane Center. According to the NHC’s 1 p.m. update, the system was moving west at 10 mph with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph.

A somewhat rare November storm system is gathering steam in the Caribbean Sea. Tropical Storm Sara will eventually make a turn to the east and Florida. Lots of factors in play but Tropical Storm Sara is expected to form this week and could become a major hurricane threatening the US next week.
