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 as it crept closer to the coast of Honduras and Belize is expected to cause life-threatening flooding and mudslides in Central America this week.
