Possible Hurricane Sara could threaten Florida once again
All eyes are on a developing zone of showers and thunderstorms in the Caribbean, which is expected to become the next tropical storm and potentially Hurricane Sara, posing risk to Florida in the next week.A batch of showers and thunderstorms over the central Caribbean has been designated by AccuWeather meteorologists as a tropical rainstorm and is forecast to become a tropical storm later this week as it drifts westward. At least one scenario involves a hurricane moving into Florida next week.
The next name on the list, Sara, is likely to be given to the feature in the Caribbean. If it develops, it would be the 12th hurricane of the season.
Accuweather lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva said, "Not only does this have a high chance of becoming a hurricane by the end of this week, but it may become a major hurricane very quickly--this weekend."
During next week, the hurricane should finally begin to increase in speed and enter the Gulf of Mexico. All residents along the central and eastern Gulf coast will need to keep a close eye on its progression, as it is still too soon to tell exactly where it may wind up by the middle and end of next week.
