Follow along here for the latest about Sara on Friday, Nov. 15. A weather system growing more powerful over the central Caribbean was designated Tropical Storm Sara on Thursday, becoming the 18th named storm of what has been a brutal hurricane season for Florida and the Southeast.

The last day of the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season​ is Nov. 30, but as we near that finishing line, the Caribbean has other thoughts in mind.

The weather may begin to deteriorate by late Wednesday or Thursday as Sara’s leftovers begin to turn to the northeast and pick up speed. As it moves closer it will start spreading showers and possibly thunderstorms into the Suncoast. Models differ on timing, but this would be the general drift of the forecast.
