Tropical Storm Sara has hit Central America with overwhelming rains and flooding. The storm's remnants could soak the Southeast.

Heavy rainfall from Tropical Storm Sara is simmering down across northern Honduras, but the risk for catastrophic flooding continues to be a threat, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Sara was forecast to drop 10 to 20 inches of rain, with up to 30 inches in isolated areas in northern Honduras. In a 7 a.m. Eastern update, the hurricane center said "heavy rain, life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides" were possible through the weekend in Central America.
