Hurricane Season Is Not Yet Over: Be Prepared! Tropical Storm Sara May Head Toward Florida

by Susan Sun Nunamaker · November 12, 2024

Dear Friends & Neighbors,

As of November 12, 2024, the system that may develop into Tropical Storm Sara is currently a tropical wave in the central Caribbean Sea, producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Since it has not yet formed into a defined tropical cyclone, specific forecast path images are not available at this time.

Hurricane season is not yet over! The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, so it is still ongoing. (Wikipedia)

While the peak of hurricane activity typically occurs between August and October,(Live Science)

storms can and do form in November. For instance, Hurricane Rafael developed in early November 2024, impacting regions in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico.(People)

It’s important to remain vigilant and prepared for potential tropical activity until the season officially ends.

As of November 12, 2024, meteorologists are closely monitoring a developing system in the central Caribbean Sea that has the potential to become Tropical Storm Sara. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports that this tropical wave is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms, with environmental conditions conducive to further development. There is a 90% chance of formation into a tropical depression within the next seven days.(Statesman)

Forecast models suggest that if the system remains over the warm waters of the western Caribbean and avoids land interaction, it could strengthen rapidly into a major hurricane. Potential paths include impacts on the Yucatan Peninsula, western Cuba, and possibly the Florida Keys and southern Florida Peninsula by November 20.(People)

Residents in the western Caribbean, including areas such as Jamaica, Haiti, the Cayman Islands, Cuba, and Florida, are advised to monitor updates from the NHC and local weather services. Regardless of development, heavy rains are expected over Jamaica and portions of Haiti in the coming days.(Statesman)

Given the potential for rapid intensification, it’s crucial to stay informed and prepared for possible severe weather conditions.

Sara could be an extreme hurricane. Attention in Jamaica, Florida, Cayman Islands and the Bahamas. The future Tropical Storm Sara will encounter favorable conditions to strengthen into a dangerous hurricane as it moves through the Caribbean Sea. The latest projections from global models suggest it may track toward Cuba, the Yucatán Peninsula, and Florida. Additionally, it will produce heavy rain and flooding in Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Jamaica, in the video published on Nov 12, 2024, by Hurricane Info, as “Sara could be an extreme hurricane.

Future Hurricane Sara is a threat to Belize, Jamaica, Florida, Cayman Islands and the Bahamas. Invest 99L continues to show signs of organization tonight. It’s very likely that a tropical depression or Tropical Storm Sara will develop within the next 48 hours. This afternoon, we have two possible track scenarios. In the first scenario, the cyclone could move very close to or along the coast of Honduras, which would limit its strengthening. However, it would result in a catastrophic event of heavy rains for northern Honduras. In the second scenario, the cyclone takes a more northerly path, strengthening into a powerful major hurricane, threatening western Cuba, the Yucatán Peninsula, and Florida, in the video published on Nov 12, 2024, by Hurricane Info, as “Future Hurricane Sara is a threat to Belize, Jamaica, Florida, Cayman Islands and the Bahamas.”, below:
