At 100 PM EST (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Sara was located by Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft near latitude 15.7 North, longitude 82.9 West.
The system is moving toward the west near 12 mph (19 km/h). This motion should continue through today, bringing the center near the coast of eastern Honduras.
The system is expected to meander near the northern coast of Honduras late Friday and through the weekend.
Data from the Air Force Reserve aircraft indicate that the maximum sustained winds have increased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is possible, if the system remains over
water. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (115 km) from the center, mainly in the northern semicircle.
The estimated minimum central pressure based on dropsonde data is 999 mb (29.50 inches).
