Tropical Storm Sara is a strengthening tropical cyclone approaching the coast of Honduras. 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.
Meteorological history
On November 11, an area of low-pressure associated with a tropical wave formed south of Hispaniola over the central Caribbean Sea.[1] The system moved generally westward toward Central America into the next day, and the National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted the high possibility of further organization due to favorable environmental conditions.[2] Though its low-level circulation remained broad and elongated on the afternoon of November 13, the disturbance was deemed likely by the NHC to soon bring tropical storm or hurricane conditions to parts of Central America, and so was designated Potential Tropical Cyclone Nineteen.[3][4] Early during the morning of November 14, the system completed tropical cyclogenesis about 280 mi (450 km) east of Guanaja, Honduras, and was upgraded to Tropical Depression Nineteen.[5] That afternoon, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Sara.[6]
Preparations and impact
Dominican Republic
The nascent disturbance caused flooding in the Dominican Republic, resulting in the evacuation of 1,767 people, isolating 54 communities, destroying two homes and damaging 487 more. Two fishermen were left missing and were later found dead near Sabana de la Mar.[7]
Central America
On November 13, the governments of Honduras and Nicaragua issued hurricane watches and tropical storm warnings for the northeastern coast of Honduras from Punta Castilla to the Honduras–Nicaragua border and the northeastern coast of Nicaragua from the Honduras–Nicaragua border to Puerto Cabezas, respectively.[8] Golosón International Airport and Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport were closed for Sara.[9]
