Tropical Storm Sara is dumping heavy rains over portions of Belize and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, as it continues tracking west, the National Hurricane Center said.

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.

Sara will weaken as it moves inland over the Yucatan Peninsula. Remnant tropical moisture may move into the Gulf of Mexico.
