Tropical Storm Sara formed in the western Caribbean Sea and long-range forecasts show the possibility that the storm will turn to the northeast in the Gulf of Mexico and take a path toward Florida.

A somewhat rare November storm system is gathering steam in the Caribbean Sea. Tropical Storm Sara will eventually make a turn to the east and Florida.

A newly formed depression in the Caribbean could enter the Gulf of Mexico as Tropical Sara next week, potentially reducing the chances it could pose a threat to Florida later in the week.
