The National Hurricane Center tracks tropical storm Sara as it moves toward Belize with expected mid-day touchdown (the storm brings serious flood risks to several regions)
Heavy down-pours hit northern Honduras since nov-15‚ where the slow-moving storm system blocked many people in their homes; now its moving north-west with growing strength. Weather experts warn about flash-floods and mud-slides in affected areas
The warning zone includes multiple regions:
- Honduras Bay Islands
- Northern Honduras coastline
- Guatemalas caribbean shore
- Belizes full coastline
- South-eastern Mexico
Local weather stations predict up to 25cm rainfall with some places getting even 38cm thru nov-19; this much water could create wide-spread flooding. Storm-surge might lift water levels 1-3 feet above normal near Belizes shore-line — these conditions also bring rough sea-waves that could damage coastal areas
