Tropical Storm Sara was previously forecast to become a major hurricane, though now the biggest threat Florida faces is rain.

Tropical Storm Sara is dumping heavy rains causing flooding across parts of Central America and is still expected to dissipate just after reaching the Gulf of Mexico.

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.
