The Hurricane season is more active than usual with back-to-back storms, and the one probably set to make landfall is Hurricane Sara. Florida is now again at risk of facing a strong storm a few weeks after Helene and Milton caused a lot of destruction across the state. The new tropical storm is likely to arrive next week and meteorologists have shared various details about it.
According to the meteorologists of AccuWeather, a large portion of the Caribbean is facing thunderstorms. Chief on-air meteorologist Bernie Rayno also revealed that soon tropical rainstorms will be formed which will then organize a tropical storm.
This storm is then likely to make landfall in Central America. However, if it does not do so and remains in the western Caribbean region with warm water, a hurricane will be formed.
The storm has been named Tropical Storm Sara.
The lead hurricane expert at AccuWeather, Alex DaSilva also added that if Hurricane Sara is formed, it may quickly turn into a major one.
"There are multiple scenarios with the feature in the Caribbean that are tied to the speed of development and track early on that could affect land areas with landfall and direct impacts later on," DaSilva added according to the People Magazine.
Which areas Hurricane Sara might affect?
Hurricane Sara, which has not been formed yet, is expected to hit Florida. It could bring flash flooding to the state which is already recovering from previous storms. It is also likely to bring strong wind to a huge part of the state and potentially impact properties and many lives.
However, if it does not, it is expected to head toward the northwest and hit the western Caribbean Sea by the beginning of next week. Hurricane Sara could also bring a storm near the Yucatan Peninsula or western Cuba and further head into the Gulf of Mexico by November 19.
Sara would also then turn east at a high speed and affect Cuba, the Florida Keys, and the southern Florida Peninsula by the next day.
Earlier Hurricane Rafael brought heavy rainfall in western Cuba. It was then headed to the southern Gulf of Mexico. Now, Hurricane Sara might bring more extreme weather conditions to the affected areas. While hurricane seasons usually have about seven storms a year, Sara might be the 12th one of the season.
