Tropical Storm Sara Causes Fatality in Honduras

Tropical Storm Sara has caused significant flooding and mudslides across Central America, particularly affecting Honduras, where one fatality has been reported. With winds of 45 mph, the storm is moving slowly west-northwest and is expected to weaken as it crosses the Yucatan Peninsula into the Gulf of Mexico. Residents in Honduras have been evacuated, and a national emergency has been declared due to life-threatening conditions. While the storm is not expected to impact the U.S. directly, its remnants will combine with a cold front, potentially bringing rain to Florida midweek. The National Hurricane Center has issued warnings for parts of Honduras, Belize, and Mexico, with forecasts of up to 35 inches of rain in some areas, posing risks of further flash floods and mudslides. Despite the storm's weakening, its remnants will likely enhance rainfall in areas as it dissipates.
