Final Named Storm Karen Update 05 October 2013 – 05:00 AM CDT
Tropical Storm Karen underwent some changes over the past 30 hours. The strong Jet Stream upper level wind flow has taken the top of the storm apart and has prevented development. This was looked at as a possibility 5 days ago by our TSRC team and this is what actually took place. There will be gusty winds, elevated surf and rip currents, and heavy rains in places along the northern Gulf Coast and along the Florida Gulf Coast for up to 3 days, but this system is weakening and will not pose a significant threat. As a result of current conditions, this will be our final Named Storm Karen unofficial update. However, persons from Northern Florida through the Northeastern Maryland region should anticipate the remnants of Karen this coming week.
