The moisture is forecast to combine with a significant frontal boundary pushing through the country.

Four days after becoming a tropical storm, Sara is expected to soon swing north toward the US coast. First, heavy rainfall will cause potential catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides as it moves across northern Honduras and Belize on Sunday,

Sara was forecast to drop 10 to 20 inches of rain, with up to 30 inches in isolated areas in northern Honduras. In a 7 a.m. Eastern update, the hurricane center said "heavy rain, life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides" were possible through the weekend in Central America.
