Florida is expected to face a widespread rainfall event mid-workweek when moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Sara interacts with a frontal system.

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.

The National Hurricane Center said Tropical Storm Sara formed in the Caribbean on Thursday and long-term forecast models show it could enter the Gulf

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 made landfall in Honduras, bringing catastrophic conditions to parts of Central America, but it might not survive its trek over the Yucatán Peninsula, according to the National Hurricane Center.

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.

The National Hurricane Center forecasts Tropical Storm Sara could get into the Gulf of Mexico after swamping Central America and crossing over Mexico.
