Sara is unlikely to hit the U.S. as a hurricane – that doesn’t mean the Gulf Coast is in the clear

While Tropical Storm Sara has dissipated off the coast of northern Honduras, forecasters warned Monday that hazards from remnants of the storm were not over for the Gulf Coast.

Sara is expected to bring flooding rainfall up to 12 inches, whipping winds that could reach 60 miles per hour, scary rip currents, potential tornadoes, and thunderstorms for Florida and other Gulf Coast states.
