Tropical Storm Sara formed in the Caribbean on Thursday afternoon and is expected to curl into the Gulf of Mexico and steam toward Florida next week, though forecast models no longer anticipate it might power up to a major hurricane — if it even becomes a hurricane at all.

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.

Tropical depression 19 officially formed Thursday morning, and now sits less than 90 miles away from the Nicaragua/Honduras coastline, prompting hurricane and tropical storm watches and warnings for those countries.
