Tropical Storm Sara Born

All eyes are on Tropical Storm Sara as it approaches Central America.

It's currently located about 205 miles east-southeast of Isla Guanaja, Honduras with maximum sustained winds of 40 miles-per-hour.

The tropical system is expected to linger over the Honduras/Belize area into early next week and could cause catastrophic flash floods and mudslides.

Some areas of northern Honduras could see 20 to 30 inches of rain before the system starts to move over the Yucatan Peninsula early next week.

Where it goes after it emerges from the Yucatan Peninsula remains a bit of a mystery, "but the latest trends have it moving further west, and at this time it poses no threat to South Florida," says National Weather Service Meteorologist Ana Torres-Vazquez.

What we can look forward to is a cold front pushing through South Florida tomorrow night.

"It brings in that really nice air. We're looking at high temperatures Saturday and Sunday that will probably peak in 80, 81, 82 degree range and then lows in like 65 to 70 degree range."

Rip current risks will continue through the weekend with slight flooding possible with king tides.
