Tropical Storm Karen

Tropical Storm Karen has formed in the Southern Gulf of Mexico east of the Yucatan Peninsula! It is expected to reach hurricane strength and landfall anywhere from New Orleans to Pensacola. This hurricane will weaken as it will head inland, but it will impact Georgia during late Sunday into Monday. Rainfall could be possible from 1 inch to as much as 4 inches. In addition, wind gusts of 30 - 45 MPH accompanied by weak tornadoes will be likely. Now is the time to prepare for this system and get your emergency plans ready.
I will have an outlook or several outlooks out tomorrow or Saturday for this system. It is too early now, because the track may still change. Here is the National Hurricane Center's graphic about Tropical Storm Karen.
