Karl should reach the coasts of Tabasco or Veracruz states in
Mexico Friday night or early Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is expected on Thursday, 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 105 miles (165 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).
