DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 800 AM AST (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Karl was located by a NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft near latitude 28.1 North, longitude 64.8 West. Karl has slowed down recently, and is now moving toward the north-northwest at around 9 mph (15 km/h). An increase in forward speed and a turn toward the north are expected today, followed by a turn toward the northeast by tonight or early Saturday. On the forecast track, the center of Karl should pass near or to the east of Bermuda late tonight or early Saturday. Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Karl could be near hurricane strength as it passes near or east of Bermuda tonight. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km) primarily to the north of the center. The latest minimum central pressure based on data from the NOAA reconnaissance aircraft is 992 mb (29.29 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected on Bermuda tonight. RAINFALL: Karl is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 3 to 5 inches over Bermuda through Saturday and early Sunday. SURF: Swells generated by Karl are already affecting Bermuda and are expected to increase during the next couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
