Tropical Storm Sara’s threat to Florida was short-lived. It is now forecast to dissipate over land. Here’s the latest forecast track.

The tropical disturbance over the Caribbean continues to slowly organize. It’s likely to become Sara, the 18th named storm of the Atlantic season. It will stay over/near the western Caribbean & eastern Central America, possibly the Yucatan Peninsula through this week.

Satellite imagery can help determine the strength, size and cohesion of a storm. The stronger a storm becomes, the more likely an eye will form in the center. When the eye looks symmetrical, that often means the storm is not encountering anything to weaken it. Sara is the 18th named storm to form in the Atlantic in 2024.

Tropical Storm Sara is forecast to slog its way over Central America this weekend but lose organization before remnants make their way into the Gulf of Mexico and get sucked back to the east toward Florida next week.

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.
