I'm tired of hearing "The worst that could happen is she says no." In this case, I don't think that is the worst. There is the possibility of losing a close friend. If she thinks it's weird, she might not want to hang around as much. I would much rather keep a friend than risk losing it for an intimate relationship.
I agree with motdakasha. I think the best way to deal with it is to approach your sister first. Find out what she thinks and if she's cool with it, she'll probably even help you out. Hopefully you're close enough with your sister to talk to her about it.
Analog has a good point too. You don't have to ask her out quite yet. Just hang out with her a bit more. It might be strange to her if you ask her out with no warning, especially since you've known each other for so long. If you've been have been hanging out with her more, and doing things together it won't be so awkward.
