Let's see how close predictions come to reality.

Tropical Storm, Sara, formed in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Honduras. It is expected to move NW over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula into the Bay of Campeche (Spanish: Bahía de Campeche), or Campeche Sound, in the southern portion of the Gulf of Mexico. Over the bay, Sara is expected to turn to the NE and traverse the Gulf of Mexico to the Florida Gulf Coast, perhaps just north of Tampa, Florida.

I have been watching the storm since some of the models have it going to the Tampa area where my sister lives. They had two hurricanes recently and another one in neighboring regions.
