Sara was forecast to drop 10 to 20 inches of rain, with up to 30 inches in isolated areas in northern Honduras. In a 7 a.m. Eastern update, the hurricane center said "heavy rain, life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides" were possible through the weekend in Central America.

Sara will weaken as it moves inland over the Yucatan Peninsula. Remnant tropical moisture may move into the Gulf of Mexico.

Tropical Storm Sara is nearly stationary and producing heavy rainfall over portions of Central America, barely holding on to tropical storm status.
