DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Karl was
located near latitude 21.5 North, longitude 94.8 West. Karl is
moving toward the north-northwest near 6 mph (9 km/h), and this
motion is expected to continue through today.  A slow drift to the
west and west-southwest is expected to begin later this morning and
a somewhat faster motion toward the south-southwest is forecast by
Thursday morning.  On the forecast track, Karl will be approaching
the coast of Mexico within the watch area by Thursday night.

Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft support
maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (70 km/h) with higher gusts.
Additional strengthening is expected for the next day or so,
followed by gradual weakening on Thursday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.64 inches).
