First, heavy rainfall will cause potential catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides as it moves across northern Honduras and Belize on Sunday, Nov. 17, according to the National Hurricane Center.
After reaching the Yucatán Peninsula, Sara is expected to approach the Gulf of Mexico, then move toward Florida, and move tropical moisture into the state by Wednesday, Nov. 20.
"The exact track when over the Gulf will depend on Sara's organization and ability to regain strength at midweek," according to AccuWeather. "A storm with lower sustained winds is more likely to be pulled into the front and to the north--perhaps over the central Gulf coast. A more organized tropical depression or storm is more likely to track more to the east and into the Florida Peninsula."

The exact timing of both systems is uncertain, and more forecast models will develop in the coming days.
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season runs through Saturday, Nov. 30.
