Tropical Storm Karl formed in the western Caribbean overnight. The storm will cross the Yucatan Peninsula over the next 36 hours and enter the southern Gulf of Mexico. It may make hurricane status before it makes a second landfall in northeastern Mexico on Saturday, September 18. This storm will not directly affect the US, but some higher than normal wave action and rip currents along the US Gulf Coast may be felt over the next 4 days. This will be our only posting for Tropical Storm/Hurricane Karl unless an unexpected tracking change takes place.
