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.

A shift in Tropical Depression 19's track has significantly impacted meteorologists' predictions about its potential to form into Hurricane Sara.

Tropical Storm Sara is forecast to slog its way into Central America this weekend but lose organization before its remnants make their way into the Gulf of Mexico and get sucked back to the east toward Florida next week.
