Tropical Storm Sara was previously forecast to become a major hurricane, though now the biggest threat Florida faces is rain.

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.

Tropical Storm Sara is dumping heavy rains causing flooding across parts of Central America and is still expected to dissipate just after reaching the Gulf of Mexico.
