ORLANDO, Fla. – All eyes remain on Tropical Storm Sara as moisture associated with it could be playing a role in our Central Florida forecast next week.
Tropical Storm Sara made landfall in northern Honduras late Thursday and threatened to dump torrential rains across parts of Central America and southern Mexico.
The latest models show it moving toward the Yucatan Peninsula late this weekend, but it’s unclear how strong it will be or how long it will stay over the Gulf of Mexico before getting picked up by a cold front.
Some slight strengthening is possible during the next couple of days if the center of Sara remains over water to the north of Honduras, according to the National Hurricane Center.
While it’s still too early to tell if we’ll see any impacts here in Central Florida, expect a higher chance of rain (50-60%) mid-week.
The same front that will deliver tropical moisture on Wednesday, will then clear Central Florida by Thursday. Much cooler air returns with a lovely stretch of 70s into next weekend.
