Tropical Storm Sara made landfall in northern Honduras late Thursday, threatening Central America and parts of southern Mexico with heavy rainfall and life-threatening conditions. The storm is expected to bring rainfall amounts between 10 to 20 inches (25 to 50 cm), with isolated areas potentially receiving up to 30 inches (75 cm), leading to catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides. Honduras has issued a 'red alert' for its northern regions, urging evacuations from danger zones as emergency services prepare for the impacts. Following Honduras, Sara is forecasted to move towards Belize and the Yucatán Peninsula over the weekend, prompting alerts in neighboring countries including El Salvador and Guatemala. The U.S. National Hurricane Center noted that while the storm is expected to weaken, its slow movement could exacerbate flooding risks. Authorities in Mexico are also on high alert, anticipating intense rains on the Yucatán Peninsula, a significant tourist area.
