Tropical Depression 19 strengthened into Tropical Storm Sara in the Caribbean on Thursday. The National Hurricane Center is calling for a weaker storm due to more land interaction.

A change in Tropical Depression 19’s path significantly changes Hurricane Sara’s timeline, placing doubts on whether it will survive early landfall.

A newly formed Tropical Storm in the Caribbean could enter the Gulf of Mexico next week as a depression after crossing over the Yucatan peninsula, potentially reducing the chances it could pose a major threat to Florida later in the week.
