HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND Key Messages for Tropical Storm Sara, here.
RAINFALL: Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are expected
over northern Honduras, with storm total amounts locally as high as
40 inches. The risk of catastrophic and life-threatening flooding
impacts will continue, especially along and near the Sierra La
Esperanza.
Across portions of Belize, El Salvador, eastern Guatemala, western
Nicaragua, and the Mexican State of Quintana Roo, the remnants of
Sara are expected to produce an additional 3 to 5 inches of rain
with localized storm totals around 15 inches. This will result in
areas of flash flooding, perhaps significant, along with the
potential of mudslides.
