Tropical Storm Sara was previously forecast to become a major hurricane, though now the biggest threat Florida faces is rain.

Tropical Storm Sara formed in the Caribbean on Thursday afternoon and is expected to curl into the Gulf of Mexico and steam toward Florida next week, though forecast models no longer anticipate it might power up to a major hurricane — if it even becomes a hurricane at all.

Tropical Storm Sara is expected to dissipate over or near Mexico's Yucantan Peninsula early next week, eliminating the tropical threat to the U.S. Gulf Coast or Florida, according to the FOX 35 Storm Team and the National Hurricane Center.
