maximum sustained winds have increased to near 45 mph (70 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Some additional strengthening is forecast during the
next 48 hours.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km)
to the north of the center.  NOAA buoy 41049, located northeast of
the center, recently reported sustained winds of 40 mph (65 km/h).

The minimum central pressure estimated from the the Hurricane Hunter
aircraft data is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected on Bermuda by Friday
evening.

RAINFALL:  Karl is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 1 to 3 inches over Bermuda through Saturday and early Sunday.

SURF:  Swells generated by Karl are already affecting Bermuda and
are expected to increase during the next couple of days.  These

conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
