The tropical disturbance over the Caribbean continues to slowly organize. It’s likely to become Sara, the 18th named storm of the Atlantic season. It will stay over/near the western Caribbean & eastern Central America, possibly the Yucatan Peninsula through this week.

A tropical disturbance building in the Caribbean Sea has been designated as Potential Tropical Cyclone 19 by the National Hurricane Center, and is forecast to strengthen into a tropical storm – known as Tropical Storm Sara – over the next few days.

The National Hurricane Center said Wednesday it is tracking a system in the Caribbean that could soon strengthen into Hurricane Sara.

The NHC said Tuesday it is tracking a tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea that could become a tropical depression by the end of the week.

The season's next named storm, Sara, will likely form in the western Caribbean in the coming days. Here's what we know right now.
