Tropical Storm Sara forecast: Will Caribbean system reach Florida?
SUMMARY: Fox 35 Storm Team meteorologist Brooks Garner reports that future tropical storm Sarah poses a reduced threat to Florida while likely causing catastrophic flooding in Honduras. The storm will bring significant rainfall, up to 40 inches, potentially resulting in mudslides and loss of life as it slowly moves westward over several days. Although there’s a slight chance it may briefly strengthen, the forecast indicates it will weaken as it reaches Mexico and eventually dissolve into a cold front by mid-next week, bringing some rain to Florida but no severe impacts. A beautiful weekend in Florida is expected before cooler weather arrives.
FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Brooks Garner discusses the change in impacts expected for Florida from future Sara, which has developed in the Caribbean.

An ex-police officer is convicted of lying about leaks to the Proud Boys leader
SUMMARY: A retired Washington police officer, Shane Lamond, was convicted of obstructing justice and making false statements regarding leaks of confidential information to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio.
