Tropical Storm Sara is a weakening tropical cyclone, currently inland over southern Mexico. The eighteenth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Sara developed from a disturbance over the central Caribbean Sea. It consolidated into a tropical depression early on November 14, and strengthened into Tropical Storm Sara later that same day. The next day, the storm grazed and moved parallel to the northern coast of Honduras. Then, on the morning of November 17, Sara made landfall near Dangriga, Belize, with sustained winds of 40 mph (65 km/h).
