The National Hurricane Center said Tropical Storm Sara formed in the Caribbean on Thursday, but its forecast path over Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula now has it falling apart by the time it

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.

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.

Sara may completely dissipate over Mexico before reaching the Bay of Campeche. "Latino male Trump voter told CNN mass deportation won't extend to law-abiding workers. 'That wouldn’t be fair. They need to make sure that they don’t throw away, they don’t kick out, they don’t deport people that are family oriented.'"

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.

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.

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.

Tropical Storm Sara continues to churn in the western Caribbean, and it looks unlikely the storm will make it to the Gulf of Mexico.

Once the remnants of Sara move into the Gulf of Mexico, a cold front is set to move in from the north. This will create a hostile environment for any tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico and the lingering moisture from Sara will merge with the cold front.
