Meteorologists have been tracking the storm for the past week, with its chances of forming increasing gradually. Tropical Storm Sara is expected to form by Thursday morning, becoming a hurricane by Friday night and a major hurricane by Saturday night, AccuWeather said.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking Invest99L as it moves over the central Caribbean Sea and gives the tropical rainstorm a 90% chance of developing into a tropical depression in the next two days.

Invest 99L is becoming better organized and is expected to develop into a tropical depression soon. After that, further strengthening is likely and the system could eventually become Tropical Storm Sara and possibly impact Florida next week.
