Tropical Storm Sara has weakened to a tropical depression as it continues to dump heavy rains over portions of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, the National Hurricane Center said.

In the Sunday afternoon update, the storm is moving west-northwest at 12 mph, with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph.

Sara is expected to pick up speed through Sunday night but weakening and dissipation are expected as it moves over the southern Yucatan Peninsula.

“The remnants of Sara will move into the Gulf of Mexico and should not reform,” Max Defender 8 Meteorologist Eric Stone said. “But rain and some wind will move into the area as the remnants and a cold front move through the Bay Area this Wednesday.”

According to the NHC, data from the government of Honduras indicates the country has gotten around 40 inches of rain.

All tropical storm warnings have been discontinued.

Heavy rainfall is expected to cause flash flooding and mudslides across Central America, which could potentially be catastrophic.
