The new tropical depression is likely to become Tropical Storm Sara and produce major flooding in Central America.

A low-pressure system churning in the Caribbean Sea will likely develop into a tropical depression later this weekend or early next week while two other disturbances move in the Atlantic Ocean, according to the National Hurricane System in Miami.

A broad area of low pressure is expected to form in the western Caribbean Sea over the next several days. Disorganized storms could become better organized in a tropical environment that is likely to support gradual development. A tropical depression may form by this weekend while moving slowly westward.
