Sara Maintains Intensity, Stationary Off the Coast of Honduras

| November 15, 2024 @ 9:08 pm

Tropical storm Sara has now become stationary as of the latest advisory from the NHC. Her winds are currently sustained at 50mph with higher gusts, and is currently sitting just offshore of Honduras, leading to catastrophic flash flooding and landslides.

Latest stats on Sara:

LOCATION...16.2N 86.3W
ABOUT 35 MI...55 KM SW OF ISLA GUANAJA HONDURAS
ABOUT 155 MI...250 KM SE OF BELIZE CITY
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...50 MPH...85 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...STATIONARY
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...997 MB...29.44 INCHES

Sara is still expected to weaken to a depression by late weekend, and is no longer anticipated to intensify once reaching the gulf. That said, her remnant moisture could bring heavy thunderstorms/rain to portions of Florida next week.
