At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Karl was
located near latitude 27.0 North, longitude 64.0 West. Karl is
moving toward the northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h).  A turn toward
the north is expected on Friday, with a turn toward the northeast

Saturday morning.

Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts.
Strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Karl could
become a hurricane on Saturday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km)
from the center.  A few hours ago, NOAA buoy 41049 reported
sustained winds of 40 mph (65 km/h) and a wind gust of 56 mph
(90 km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected on Bermuda by Friday
evening.

RAINFALL:  Karl is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 1 to 3 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.
