A tropical depression in the Caribbean Sea became Tropical Storm Sara on Thursday, forecasters said, and poses no immediate threat to South Mississippi even though the storm will likely reach the Gulf of Mexico.

Tropical Storm Sara has formed in the Caribbean Sea and is forecast to continue strengthening, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical Storm Sara officially became a named storm after forming in the Caribbean Thursday, the National Hurricane Center said, and while it’s currently forecasted to impact Central America, there’s a possibility it may head toward the already-battered Gulf coast of Florida.
