Tropical Storm Karl formed in the central Atlantic from a strong low pressure area (Tropical Depression Twelve.) Karl is moving west at 15 MPH and will most likely be located north of the Leeward Islands by mid week. The system is encountering some upper level shear and some drier air to it’s north which is lessening the chances of immediate intensification. However, by mid week, this system will be in a more favorable environment and could reach hurricane strength. Even though it is very early in this storm’s formation, we are suggesting that everyone from South Florida to New England along the US East Coast monitor the progress of this storm. We are monitoring this Tropical system and will add details to this unofficial advisory if the storm threatens the coastal US.
