Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours and
Karl is expected to become a hurricane by tonight.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km)

the minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.36 inches).
