Tropical Storm Sara
Steering winds are expected to capture Tropical Storm Sara and draw it across the Gulf of Mexico, where it could linger for two days before potentially moving towards Florida mid-next week.
Even in its tropical storm status, Sara has the potential to generate a storm surge near and to the south of where it makes landfall on the Florida Peninsula. Although it may be less severe compared to earlier storms this season such as Helene, Milton, and Debby, its impact could be considerable in areas where dunes and infrastructure are already weakened.
