DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Karl was
located near latitude 22.4 North, longitude 94.4 West. Karl is
currently nearly stationary. A slow motion toward the southeast or
south-southeast should begin later today, with Karl then expected
to turn southward or south-southwestward over the Bay of Campeche
on Friday.  On the forecast track, the center of Karl should reach
the coasts of Tabasco or Veracruz states in Mexico late Friday night
or early Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds are now near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher
gusts. Little change in strength is expected today, but Karl should
gradually lose some strength on Friday while it approaches the Bay
of Campeche coast of Mexico.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

Key messages for Karl can be found in the Tropical Cyclone

RAINFALL:  Karl is expected to produce 3 to 7 inches of rain, with
local maxima up to 12 inches, across portions of Veracruz and
Tabasco states in Mexico from Friday into Saturday night.  Rainfall
amounts of 2 to 4 inches, with local max up to 6 inches, is also
expected across portions of Chiapas and Oaxaca. These rains can
produce flash flooding, along with mudslides, in higher terrain.

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are possible along the Mexican
coastline in the watch area starting late Friday or Friday night.

SURF:  Swells generated by Karl are expected to affect the Mexican
coastline for the next few days.  These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult
products from your local weather office.
