Tropical Storm Karen
Position: 11.1 N 41.0 W. [10PM CDT] [UPDATED}
Movement: West-Northwest [285°] near 14 mph.
Maximum sustained winds: 40 mph.
Wind Gusts: 50 mph.
Tropical Storm Wind Radius: 70 miles.
Minimum central pressure: 1005 mb.
Currently 1355 miles East of the southern Windward Islands [the lower islands of the Lesser Antilles] and still looking like a fish botherer.
Tropical Depression Thirteen [the former Invest 94L]
Position: 21.7 N 95.4 W. [10PM CDT]
Movement: West [260°] near 5 mph.
Maximum sustained winds: 30 mph.

Minimum central pressure: 1008 mb.

Invest 97 is West of the Lesser Antilles but conditions are not good for much development. It looks like it will pass over Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, eastern Cuba, and then turn North into South Florida on the weekend. No guarantees with tropical weather.

ahe’s following in the footsteps of frederic, i see.
There’s a weakness in the ridge that is providing the steering and there will be a turn to the North.
I really want TD 13 to go ashore somewhere. I don’t like storms that hang around in the Bay of Campeche. If the wind shear dies they can take off.
