TROPICAL STORM SARA

According to the National Hurricane Center, the storm in the Gulf of Honduras is heading toward Belize. The government of Honduras has discontinued the tropical storm warning from Punta Patuca westward to Punta Castilla. Early next week, rainfall amounts of 15 to 25 inches are expected with isolated storms of about 35 inches across northern Honduras. This rainfall will lead to widespread areas of life-threatening and potentially catastrophic flooding and mudslides, especially along and near the Sierra La Esperanza.

Elsewhere in the rest of Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, eastern Guatemala, western Nicaragua, and the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, Tropical Storm Sara is expected to produce 5 to 10 inches of rain, with localized totals around 15 inches by early ​​next week. Storm surge may raise water levels by as much as 1 to 3 feet above normal tide levels along the immediate coast in areas with onshore winds along the northern coast of Honduras. Near the coast, the wave will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. A storm surge could raise water levels by as much as 1 to 3 feet above ground level near and north of where the center of Sara crosses the coast of Belize.
