MIAMI, FL — The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is watching Potential Tropical Cyclone Nineteen in the western Caribbean. The fledgling system will likely become Tropical Storm Sara over the next 48 hours as it approaches Central America.
Models have been pointing to future Sara slowly tracking northwest towards the Yucatán Peninsula this weekend before landfall by the start of next week. How strong the storm remains after landfall is key; medium-range guidance suggests future Sara will make a sharp easterly turn after it enters the Gulf. We’ll keep you weather-wise as the forecast becomes clearer.
