Little change in strength is expected before the center of Karl reaches the coast. Steady weakening is expected after the storm crosses the coastline, and the system is forecast to dissipate over southern Mexico by Saturday night. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center. A Mexican Navy station at Cayo Arcas recently reported sustained winds of 34 mph (55 km/h) and a wind gust of 54 mph (86 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).
