Tropical storm Sara has weakened into a tropical depression as it moves through Belize. It is expected to reach Guatemala and southern Mexico in this state. The storm has caused flooding in Honduras, resulting in one death and affecting over 70,000 people.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported that Sara is now a tropical depression. It is traveling at 13 kilometers per hour with sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour.
